For the enterprising 20-year-old Chelsea Krost, the word “entitlement” doesn’t exist; it never did. From the time she was a child involved in numerous charitable endeavors and throughout her teen years when she traded vacations for life altering philanthropic missions across the globe, Chelsea has been driven by her passion to make a difference in the world. “Charity is my drug of choice,” she proclaims.

Chelsea has become a sought after resource and voice for the teenage/young person’s generation, bringing her fresh perspectives and off the cuff familiar style to television with guest appearances and news segments that include, Fox’s Good Day New York and Street Talk, CNN Headline News, NBC’s The Today Show, News 12 New Jersey, and Fox 5 News San Diego that covered a plethora of topics of peer pressure to Father’s Day technology gifts to Lindsay Lohan and the MTV remake show “Skins.” Seventeen Magazine named Chelsea a “Mini Mogul, who gave teens a voice by creating her own radio show.”

Chelsea Krost recently released her first book, “NINETEEN: A Reflection of My Teenage Experience in an Extraordinary Life. What I Have Learned and What I Have To Share.” Chelsea describes the book as a combination “memoir/self-help/humor/insider’s guide for teens and young women” which she hopes will inspire the reader to know that with persistence, hard work and belief in yourself anyone can accomplish great things! Later this year, Chelsea will start off her national book tour for “NINETEEN beginning in California, along with the launch of her new unique lip product “with a refreshing twist.”

2011 will also mark the re-launch of her radio show that at just sixteen years old, Chelsea conceptualized and created, born out of the desire to provide a safe and non-judgmental platform for teens like herself to share their feelings on topics relevant to their lives, as well as global concerns. In March 2008, just after her seventeenth birthday, Chelsea became the youngest AM radio host when her show, Teen Talk Live with Chelsea Krost debuted on WBZT 1230 AM, establishing the tagline, “Our voice. Our opinions. Our time to talk.” Chelsea researches all show topics and invites a rotating panel of young adults who discuss their questions and views, along with guest celebrities and experts who offer their perspectives, expertise and answers for the thousands of listeners who access her show every Tuesday from 7-8 p.m. on www.teentalklive.net.

In January 2009, Chelsea acted as exclusive teen journalist for the non-profit group People to People, traveling to Washington, DC to cover the inauguration of President Obama. Chelsea also reported live from the CNN building with Suzanne Boyd, anchor/reporter for the local Florida CBS and Fox affiliates that air in Chelsea’s hometown of Delray Beach/Boca Raton, Florida. Chelsea has also appeared on Live with Regis and Kelly, and was a guest on Good Day New York and News 12 New Jersey.

In the summer of 2009, together with her family, Chelsea coordinated a Teen Talk Live “mission to Africa,” a philanthropic trip to Nairobi to hand-deliver hundreds of feminine hygiene products to the HEART Freedom for Girls Program and the Nyumbani Children’s Home. As the exclusive teen correspondent for her local Florida CBS and Fox affiliates, Chelsea documented her compelling mission in a special four-part TV series, which aired in June 2009 on her local Florida CBS/Fox TV stations.

Following the Africa trip, Chelsea was tapped by Kotex to be their ‘Millennial Spokesperson,’ making media appearances including guest spots on The Tyra Banks Show and Teen Kids News. Chelsea was asked to offer her insights into the advertising and marketing campaigns for Kotex’s new U by Kotex products for teens, and contributed a monthly blog entry for the company’s website. At the end of 2010, Chelsea went out for anther philanthropic trip to schools in Peru to deliver supplies and books to the many children.

Chelsea also just completed a five day mission to Joplin, Missouri for CBS and Fox News affiliates to document the progress made since the devastating deadly tornadoes in May. Armed with a film crew and a compassionate heart, Chelsea chronicled the aftermath of the tornadoes, interviewing the people who lived to tell of their harrowing experiences, visiting the hospitals and schools to bring needed supplies and welcome toys and gifts, and shedding light on the rebuilding process.

Chelsea is active with a number of charities, including SOS Children’s Villages, The Pajama Program, The Unicorn Foundation, Africa Heart, and Dream Sponsors, Inc., an organization through which they met and sponsor a nine year-old orphan boy, Bryan in hopes of giving him a chance at an education and a healthy and successful future. “We live in such a narcissistic society; so, if I had just one message to share with other young adults it would be to ‘go outside your comfort zone’ and help others. Nothing feels as good as knowing you’ve made a difference in someone else’s life.”

Chelsea is currently working on a television pilot, “Positively Ernie” featuring Ernie Anastos, the Emmy Award-winning New York City Fox News anchor.

Chelsea resides in New York City and attends Marymount College, where she juggles the role as a Broadcast Journalism major and bi-coastal television personality.
