With a bright, sunny disposition, Chelsea smiles readily and to her, life is a cup half full.. She cares deeply and can be emotional. She retains her childlike sense of fun and has a rather mischievous sense of humour but her starfleet training is usually enough of an inner-parent to keep her out of trouble.

Background
Chelsea was born in 2348 to a Terran mother by a Bajoran father who died when she was 6. Her mother returned to Earth to her family who helped to raise Chelsea in England, so her Bajoran roots had largely faded into her past.
As a teenager she did some research into her father's people but her maternal Grandfather was a Starfleet Rear Admiral and was bent on her going to the Starfleet Academy. Chelsea had no objection to this plan, on condition that she could specialise in Medicine for which she had shown an aptitude at college and as such she was too absorbed in her career and studies to take a long intended trip to Bajor until she was in her late 20s.
Chelsea did most of her initial medical training at Starfleet's Cochran University Hospital in San Francisco and then went on to spend her Registrar years in situ serving on the USS Rennaisance, a Galaxy Class ship with a large medical section, where she was encouraged to undertake a research project as part of her specialty. She chose genetics and was awarded the 2373 Pallanski Prize for Most Promising Medical Progress.
Once fully qualified as a Ship's Surgeon at the age of 28, Chelsea took a year's secondment to finally visit Bajor, where she practiced in the Ilivian Medical Complex. Returning to active Starfleet duty in 2377, she joined the USS Venture, a Defiant Class starship and was promoted to Lt.(jg).
Chelsea applied for the position of Assistant Medical Officer on DS5 because she saw it as an exciting new challenge. She hopes that life on a Starbase will offer her a fresh start personally, due to the recent break up of a 2-year personal relationship and also an opportunity to progress professionally too by expanding her medical experience working with a wider range of races and species and more diverse community medicine.
