Chelsea Kehrli - Outreach and Engagement Specialist
Chelsea joined the ROCovery crew in the beginning of October 2019, but has been a member since 2017 when she embarked onto her own recovery journey. In early sobriety, she was feeling a lack of purpose and connection. It wasn’t until she started coming to ROCovery workouts with Sean and Yana, that she slowly started to find her place. Today, Chelsea is passionate about supporting others on their path to recovery, and is a true advocate for the work ROCovery is doing. She has earned an Associate’s Degree in Visual Communications & Graphic Design in 2010 and has obtained her CRPA (Certified Recovery Peer Advocate) in 2020. Chelsea loves going on hikes/spending time outdoors being active, time with family and friends, creating art in all forms (including food), and is still enjoying the recovery ride!
