Chelsea M - North Carolina Balloon Sculptors

Chelsea is a student at Wake Technical Community College, and a balloon artist. The most common question people ask her is how she got started making balloon animals. It’s actually a pretty cool story too. When she was fourteen (and she had just taken drivers ed) her mom kept telling her she wasn't going to get her a car when she turned sixteen, so Chelsea started looking for a job. It turns out, not many companies hire fourteen-year-olds. However, she got lucky because one of her friends worked as a balloon artist for a balloon company, so he got her the DVD that he learned from, and she started working for the same company. It turned out to be an awesome job. She ended up being pretty good at it too because she became the regional manager when she was fifteen. Being a manager was as awesome though, she tried it for a little while, and then she decided to go out and make her own business. Now, six years later, she has an awesome job that works perfectly with her school schedule. She gets to work for herself, and her job is fun! Oh, and she got her car when she turned sixteen!
