Chelsea Lantz-Cashman

Chelsea hails from the mountains of western Carolina (her family hop-scotched between North and South Carolina during most of her formative years).

Her undergraduate career was somewhat non-traditional; you could say she “collected” colleges before finding a home at Western Carolina University where she majored in Literature with a double minor in History and Creative Writing.

A few years ago, she made her way to Kansas to work on a Master’s degree in Literary Theory and began to hone her areas of interest to oral traditions, trauma theory, and environmental writing. As her Master’s degree comes to a close, she's excited to enter the next chapter of her life as an Academic Advisor for the School of the Arts.
