Chelsea Hunt

Tell us a little bit about your background – personal and/or professional.

My background is in parternships and marketing strategy - focused on building relationships that drive both business and community impact. In my current role, I oversee retail cards marketing strategy for a leading financial services organization.

What city do you call home?

Tampa, FL

Where did you grow up?

Louisville, Kentucky

What are some of your favorite hobbies?

I enjoy traveling, discovering new coffee shops, and spending time outdoors with my kids.

Why did you become involved with AFSP?

I became involved with AFSP because I believe mental health deserves greater awareness, support and open conversation. Losing my mother was a driving factor in my involvement, and I'm passionate about contributing to a mission that makes a meaningful difference in people's lives and our community.

What was your first introduction to AFSP?

When I lost my mom I was seeking research and resources when I learned about AFSP. I immediately signed-up as volunteer and started "Talk Saves Lives" presentation training.

What is one of the most important things you would share with the community about AFSP?

I want to emphasize the importance of creating space for open, honest conversations about mental health. Simply checking in and asking someone how they are truly feeling can make a big impact. AFSP plays a vital role in encouraging those conversations and helping people feel seen and supported.

What might someone be surprised to learn about you?

I am a world grand champion Saddlebred horseback rider

What are three unexpected items on your desk?

My kids' artwork, a portable speaker, and cozy slippers under my desk
