Meet the Advisory Board Member: Chelsea C.

BYP is run with support from a motivated team of young professionals, the Advisory Board! Learn more about the people that guide and influence the program and say hi when you see them at our next event.

Introducing Chelsea C.

Share a brief overview of your professional background.

After working at People's United Bank (now M&T Bank), I continued my financial career at New England Federal Credit Union, now EastRise Credit Union, as a member service representative. Now, seven years later, I am an analyst in the Enterprise Risk Department. Even though I do not work directly with members, I still feel connected with the community through back office responsibilities and amazing volunteering opportunities through the Credit Union!

Share a bit about your personal interests or hobbies.

I love doing outdoor adventure activities of all sorts with my husband, gardening, spending time with friends and family, and running!

Recommend a local restaurant/shop/business that you love.

Sakura in Williston — my favorite sushi restaurant!

Tell us what you like most about living in the greater Burlington area.

In addition to my family living here (parents and two older sisters), I love the farm-to-table, eat local, support small businesses, environmentally friendly, and just simply "do good" vibe that Vermont provides!

Share what motivated you to join the BYP Advisory Board.

Previously, I was a part of the Credit Union's young professional group for three years and attended BYP events. Therefore, I wanted to continue my involvement, make more connections, and promote how awesome BYP is!
