Chelsea has been singing, dancing and acting almost as soon as she could walk, performing for anyone who would grant her audience.
Chelsea's formal training began at the age of 3, when she started dancing hours a day, 6 days a week. Her parents, after divorcing when Chelsea was only 7, enrolled her in acting classes so that she would have another creative outlet. It took them no time at all to realize that Chelsea's talents were too big for recitals and children's plays. Chelsea's educational career was quickly fast-tracked from an advanced secondary school arts curriculum, to being enrolled in an intensive acting program with students 5 years her senior and over, to graduating from home-school on-set at the age of 16. She has a daughter with her husband, photographer Teren Oddo, who she has been with since early 2004
