Hi, I’m Chelsey Rochester

I am pursuing a career in communications. My passion for communications derived from my time at Western getting my bachelor’s degree in Communication Studies and Sociology. Exploring the various skills communications offered challenged me in the best way. I like to understand the way people think and reach them the best way I can. After graduating I emerged myself into this field in various ways that have increased my verbal and written communication abilities and enhanced my ability to think strategically and creatively.

Bio

As an experienced leader, I have a unique perspective on building interpersonal relationships with my team and business partners. I am passionate about understanding human behavior to create an optimized experience that alleviates issues and brings excitement. At the same time, I bring a logical approach to developing projects, using data and analytics to gain insight into efficient coordination for projects to make informed decisions that drive growth.

My experience in communication has given me a strong foundation in problem-solving and attention to detail, which has been valuable in working collaboratively with cross-functional team members to develop guidelines, timelines, responsibilities, and files. In addition to my technical expertise, I have extensive experience in working with and studying people. I use these skills to craft compelling messages for different audiences and prioritize initiatives that align with the company's strategic goals.

I have also had the opportunity to be mentored by various directors who helped me develop the skills and knowledge I needed to succeed. This has allowed me to sharpen my leadership skills and gain a deeper understanding of the project development process.

By thinking through the entire customer journey, I am able to challenge assumptions and identify opportunities to improve the product experience. As a project leader, I am committed to using data and analytics derived from people’s experiences to drive innovation and deliver projects that exceed our customers' expectations.
