Chelsea

I was born in Vancouver, but grew up mostly in Summerland. Growing up, I was a dance enthusiast, and studied ballet, jazz, tap, hip-hop, belly-dance and pole fitness. My parents split up when I was about 9. My dad got re-married, but my mom didn't. Graduated high school in 2006 and went to Okanagan College for a year. I decided to move to Vancouver with my best friend from Calgary, and ended up settling for an apartment in Burnaby. I lived there for a few months and after getting in a few agressive fights with my step-sister's boyfriend, I moved to Maple Ridge to live with my dad. I worked at his tattoo shop, Haney Ink, at the front desk taking phone calls, making appointments, selling clothes, etc. After living there for a few months I moved back to my hometown and went up to Apex mountain resort and stayed in the hostel for the season. I learned how to snowboard and worked cleaning condos. Last summer, my step-mom passed away. I ended up going back a second year and renting a log cabin with some friends. One roommate was a DJ and we threw some very wild parties. It was the most fun of my life. I'm 21 now and returning to Okanagan college to finish my associate of arts degree. I love to read, draw and paint.
