As a Retail Supervisor, thriving in a fast-paced environment while demonstrating excellent communication skills is no easy task, but Chelsie embodies it gracefully. Since joining us in January of 2021, her people management skills, strategy development, and analytical thinking have helped set our team at Northwood University up for success for years to come.

2. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her family and her animals. She also loves being outside and in her garden.
3. Her favorite food would have to be anything with potatoes added to it.
4. One thing that most people don’t know about her is that one day she would eventually like to be an event coordinator.
Keep up the great work and all of your dreams will come true...and we'll be right there to congratulate you!

In collaboration with Bit-Farms, Hope College, Hope College Dining Services, and Hope College Sustainability we are proud to celebrate the inaugural indoor hydroponic micro-farm and first harvest at Phelp's Dining Hall. Our journey to cultivate sustainable solutions begins here.
This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without the passion for sustainable farming that drives us all forward. What’s even more exciting is that our campus dining community at Hope College is in for a culinary treat like no other— enjoying homemade Pico de Gallo and Pesto made with fresh herbs grown just feet from your dining table!
Special thanks to our culinary team at Hope College who embraced this flavorful journey and we are looking forward to the creative deliciousness that lies ahead.
