Chelsea comes to us all the way from Scottsdale, Arizona. While she may be far from her family back in the Southwest, Chelsea is thrilled to call Central New York her new home.

She graduated from The University of Arizona in May 2011 and earned a B.A. degree in Journalism. She was a member of the Kappa Alpha Theta sorority during her college years.

While in Tucson, Chelsea had the opportunity to intern at the KGUN9 ABC affiliate and worked as an Associate Producer for the FOX11 station as well.

Chelsea had the opportunity to intern at KNBC-TV Los Angeles during the summer of 2010. During her time there, she worked in the investigative unit helping with undercover stories as well as the newsroom.

Chelsea is ready to trade in her sandals for snow boots and experience her first real winter in Central New York. When she’s not out telling stories, Chelsea loves a good read and is excited to explore the culture and people in Utica.

Chelsea wants to make sure she is telling the stories that the community cares about so feel free to email her at crarrick@wutr.tv with any story ideas or simply just to say hello!
