​Kelsie, a nationally ranked all-star cheerleader, gymnast, recovering addict, suicide survivor, and mother of four, is dedicated to educating communities about the profound impact of trauma on mental health and addiction. Entering recovery at just 16 years old in 2006, Kelsie is a trauma survivor who has faced teen incarceration, traumatic brain injuries from sports, mental health challenges, and a relapse that led to a suicide attempt in 2017. This turning point marked the beginning of her long-term recovery journey.

Now, with seven years of sobriety and over a decade of experience in recovery, Kelsie uses her story of resilience to break the stigma surrounding mental health. Through her work, she empowers others to live authentically, unashamed, and with a renewed sense of purpose.
