"I am hopeful you will welcome the opportunity to speak with Chelsea. Her intelligence, alertness, discipline, reliability, and flexibility are worthy of your trust. She arrives with an open heart and mind, ready to explore and to create. In my experience with her, whenever she has been thrown a curve—in direction, scheduling, etc.—without exception, she has responded with grounded professionalism. I have always known her to be genuine, fiercely imaginative, and a supportive collaborator. She has the respect of her colleagues. She takes initiative in all work areas and shows appreciation for the contributions of her peers, and her mentors. Chelsea is a bold learner, curious and receptive, excited by challenge and the exchange of ideas."
