Chelsea Dartez
In 2016, Chelsea moved to Cookeville from Nashville while still commuting for her work in the music industry. After having her second child in 2021, she decided to make a change to be closer to home. Late 2021, Chelsea noticed a void in the Cookeville media scene. There was not a regular lifestyle publication that catered to a younger demo while still embracing the core values of the city. With her expertise in digital marketing, media, branding, PR and management, she founded Cookeville Lifestyle Magazine.
