Outside of XSEM

Outside of work, Chelsea is passionate about music and is always on the lookout for new artists and tracks to add to her ever-growing Spotify playlists. She enjoys discovering emerging talent, attending live music events and finding inspiration through different genres and sounds.
When she is not exploring new music, Chelsea loves spending time outdoors looking for new walking routes to enjoy. Many of her adventures are shared with her dog Winnie, who is often by her side as she explores local trails, countryside paths and scenic spots, helping her switch off, recharge and enjoy the fresh air.
