My name is Chelsea Mandello, and I appreciate your time for reviewing my qualifications.
I have more than 10 years of experience in Public Affairs and business development. I served in the U.S. Navy from 2011-2018 as a Mass Communication Specialist where I worked as a public relations and media specialist with digital multi-media and advanced illustrator qualification. At the end of my service, I managed a collaborative team of designers, photojournalists, videographers and media specialists to cover and disseminate information. I managed internal and external communications for various projects and launched several internal company collaboratives.
While serving in the military I founded Troopster, a military care package company, where I utilized my media relation and mass communication experience to grow it into a national platform. Troopster is an organization that helps friends, families and communities send personalized care packages to deployed U.S. troops.
Outside of media relations, I have experience in building and managing strategic partnerships. I have a track record of success in developing and executing successful collaborations with a wide range of organizations and businesses. I recently received my Master’s of Business Administration from William and Mary which helped further my experience in negotiation, business development, and relationship management. I am a highly motivated and organized individual with excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
I am passionate, tenacious, strategic and excited to contribute to the growth and success of your organization. I appreciate your time and consideration.
