Chelsea Morgan Krost, born Feb. 2, 1991 in Long Island, New York, was dancing before she was walking. As soon as Chelsea's family moved to Florida, she was winning local beauty pageants, taking home equestrian medals and modeling for children's clothing designers. Chelsea performed as a junior Miami Dolphins cheerleader, and continued her love for dance at All That Dance Company, where she received recognition for her talents. Chelsea formed a dance group with five friends called "Dance for Smiles" where they performed at nursing homes, rehabilitation centers, local schools and community events. Chelsea continued dancing with Hip Hop Kidz and went on to compete in major competitions in Orlando, Florida.

When Chelsea entered high school she was introduced to TV production and quickly realized that this was her future. Now in her fourth year of high school, Chelsea is broadcasting morning announcements and has created her own weekly weather program for the school. She and her two partners produced school-oriented documentaries' and Chelsea has developed a marketing film which was chosen to air on Channel 20 News.

This led to the exciting opportunity where Chelsea and her partners created a program for Channel 20 called What's Up Boca. Chelsea has also starred and danced in three videos, produced and directed by Michael James Productions. During her travels to her favorite place, New York City, she landed the lucky opportunity to show her dance moves on the hit talk show Live with Regis and Kelly and to meet host Kelly Ripa who gave her the inspirational words of wisdom to go after her dreams and be persistent.
Chelsea is now living out her dreams as host of her own radio show. In March 2008, at the age of seventeen, she created Teen Talk Live and established the tagline "Our Voice, Our Opinion, Our Time to Talk." Inspired by her life experiences and everyday challenges as a teenager, Chelsea's goal was to establish a voice for the teen population by providing them with a safe outlet where teens can share their problems and gain advice. As writer and producer of the show, Chelsea thoroughly researches her topics before the show and invites an expert from the appropriate field to join the live discussion to lend accuracy, credibility and legitimate advice for her and her listeners. Topics are always timely, educational and entertaining and range from the serious to the lighthearted.

Chelsea's also recently launched an exciting new webisode series has been an amazing growing experience for her career as she hopes to someday take Teen Talk Live to television near you.
In January 2009, Chelsea acted as the exclusive teen journalist for the non-profit group People to People as she traveled to Washington DC to cover the inauguration of President Obama. She interviewed political greats including Mary Eisenhower, granddaughter of the late President Dwight D. Eisenhower and Ken Walsh, reporter from US News and World Report. Chelsea also reported live from the CNN building with Suzanne Boyd, anchor for the West Palm Beach Fox and CBS affiliates.
Yet the local community recognizes Chelsea for a different reason – for giving back. Chelsea is a huge supporter of charities. She feels that with her radio platform it is her duty to give back to those who are less fortunate, whether through volunteer work, donations, dedicating entire shows to and even planning her own events involving friends and listeners in the community. Chelsea works closely with the Pajama Program, The Savannah Cash Foundation, the SOS Children's Villages and Give a Girl a Chance.

For the past year Chelsea has been working with Give a Girl a Chance coordinating Teen Talk Live's "Mission to Africa." The trip begins on June 4, 2009 as Chelsea and Teen Talk Live head to Nairobi, Africa. As a result of selling beaded bracelets handmade by the African women, organizing a fashion fundraiser and receiving feminine hygiene product donations, Chelsea will be able to personally bring the products to the African refugee centers. Monies raised have already helped to build a library at an orphanage in the north east region of Kenya.

Teen Talk Live will also bring Dot Girl's First Period Kit to Africa. The special kit contains information about menstruation, a calendar to track your period, a Kotex® pad, hand wipes and more. Chelsea feels this will be a good tool to help empower the young women in Africa and can assist with any questions they might have about their womanhood.

This summer, Chelsea will head to New York City as an incoming freshman at Marymount Manhattan College majoring in Broadcast Journalism. She will bring Teen Talk Live to New York and intends to continue reporting about topics facing today's teens and young adults as well as focusing on a new angle – living in a big city and attending college.
