Chelsea Blakely

Gifts Processing and Data Entry Specialist

Chelsea is part of the Development Operations team and is responsible for maintaining and updating donor and gift records. She also communicates with people about the variety of ways to support SELC. She is pleased that working for SELC allows her to align her professional life to the pursuit of environmental and social justice — and proud of SELC’s highly strategic legal work, as well as the visionary outreach and fundraising of the Development team.

The mountains of North Carolina are some of her favorite places to visit because of the beautiful vistas and the variety of flourishing craft traditions. Chelsea lives in Charlottesville.
