I’m your author and content creator, Chelsea Chatts; a born and raised Californian dedicated to living beautifully. I’ve always been a storyteller at heart, but life led me down another path for the first decade of my career. Over the last ten years, I’ve dug in deep into human resources, leading employee experience and talent acquisition for startups and Fortune 500 companies alike. However, when the COVID-19 pandemic hit, everything changed. With the labor market moving into the uncharted territory of remote work, I decided it was also time to make a change of my own. So, I packed my bags for Chattanooga, Tennessee and founded my own company, Chelsea Chatts.
Readers may be wondering, why would someone uproot from the comfort of California and relocate to Tennessee? Like many others, I’ve discovered the benefits of remote work. So, I decided that it was time to take a chance on myself and to create the lifestyle I’ve always dreamed of; a life of creativity, flexibility, and adventure. As T-Swift would say, welcome to New York; Chattanooga, Tennessee, otherwise known as Scenic City.
