Originally from the Midwest, Chelsea Moeller now calls Maine home, where she lives with her husband, daughter, and their 125-pound Newfoundland, Del. The close-knit community of her town makes it an ideal place for her family.
Chelsea also shares a deeply personal connection to FSHD, navigating life with the condition herself. Her journey inspired her to create HonestlyFSHD, a blog where she writes about her experience with openness and authenticity. “I needed a place where I could be honest about my reality and educate the people around me who could see the story unfolding,” she reflects, creating a space for others on a similar path to find connection and understanding.
Professionally, Chelsea has built a robust career in nonprofit development, holding roles focused on creating impact for nearly two decades. Most recently, she served as the vice president of advancement for a private college in Maine, following her role as director of donor engagement and capital projects at the Children’s Center in Augusta.
Now, as director of development at the FSHD Society, Chelsea sees her work as more than fundraising. “I don’t think of it as asking for money,” she explains. “I see it as connecting people who genuinely want to make a difference with the lives they can change.”
