Of course I can pronounce "Kanawha!"
Chelsea Kinzinger first visited West Virginia as a high school senior on a volleyball recruiting visit to the University of Charleston. The Illinois native initially had a little trouble pronouncing the name of the river that flows by campus, but it didn't take long for her to make the Kanawha Valley her second home. Chelsea quickly advanced through her career after obtaining her bachelor's and master's degrees from UC, and now she serves as the Vice President of Operations for General Corporation. In addition to her business success, she has over 11,000 Instagram followers, and she's a passionate volunteer for the Michael J Fox foundation for Parkinson's Disease research. We also sat down with UC student Arianna Whitehair about her leadership on campus and walking on to the UC Women's Lacrosse team.
