Hey Redskins Fans!

My name is Chelsea, I’m 23 years old and I’m excited to be back for my fourth season as a Washington Redskins Cheerleader.  Each season brings such excitement and variety; I just can’t seem to get enough!

I was born and raised in Stafford, Virginia where my love for performing began.  At the age of three I entered a toddler acrobatics class, which quickly launched into a 10 year gymnastics career.  Once I entered high school, I joined the varsity cheerleading squad and the Northern Virginia All-Stars competitive team.  I continued my cheerleading career into college where I cheered for George Mason University until I decided to try out for the “First Ladies of Football”!

From GMU, I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Marketing. After graduation, I accepted a Marketing Executive position for a small A/V company in Northern VA and in my spare time I have been able to help my Mom and Dad with our winery, Potomac Point Winery & Vineyard.  It has been very exciting to be involved with the family business from beginning to end, I was able to help with the planning of the vineyard, and watch the building of the facility come to fruition.  I worked there as an assistant Event Coordinator helping to set up the many weddings, events, clubs, and wine releases.  I have learned to appreciate a glass of wine much more since watching the Italian Winemaker in the process of going from Grape to Glass.  Cheers!

Spending time with my family and friends is a huge priority in my life--crab feasts are one of my favorite things to do!  Traveling is also a passion of mine and through the Redskin’s organization I have been fortunate enough to travel around the world to such amazing places: Dominican Republic, Cancun, Aruba, Germany, Netherlands and Belgium. Not to mention Marco Island, Florida where our best calendar yet was shot this past May.

My experiences as a Redskins Cheerleader has been truly rewarding.  The adrenaline rush I experience when stepping onto the Redskins stomping ground each and every home game is an indescribable feeling.  Our team has such an amazing variety of women; I feel as though I learn something new every day. This is the second year I have been given the opportunity of being a co-captain and to be chosen for this role out of all these remarkable women is a huge honor! I’m so happy to be a part of this organization and I look forward to another winning season as a Redskins Cheerleader.  I truly feel blessed for all of the opportunities that have come my way and I want to send a special "Thank You" to my Mom and Dad for always supporting me. 

Lastly, I would like to express my appreciation to all of our troops who fight everyday for this country.  I am looking forward to performing in another Redskins Armed Forces Entertainment Tour soon.  We send love and look forward to your safe return.

Love Always,
