Chelsea Robinson Harman


Where did the last ten years go??!! I stayed in Rexburg attending BYU-I until 2005 then moved to Boise where I worked for an ophthomologist and attended Boise State where I later graduated with a Health Science degree. In 2008 I married my husband, Jake and moved to Burley. We own and he manages a fertilizer plant in Rupert. I went to nursing school at College of Southern Idaho after we were married and graduated with my RN in 2010. We have two little boys, Conn is 4, Craig is 2, and we are expecting another baby in November! I currently work one day a week at the hospital in Burley and get to stay home with our kids the rest of the time. We enjoy playing on the Snake River, going for side by side rides in the mountains, and trying to keep up with our active kids! Can't wait to see what the next 10 years brings!

I have an associate's degree from BYU-Idaho, a BA in Theatre Arts from BYU (where I minored in English and nearly in Spanish), and in 2011 I earned my MFA in Theatre Arts (Dramatic Writing) from the University of Idaho. I'm also an alumna of New York Theatre Intensives. I still write plays and music, often with similar themes to what I wrote in Mrs. Stumme's classes. I have seen my plays in Alaska, California, Colorado, Utah, Idaho, and New York City. I am a published and produced playwright and a member of the Dramatists Guild of America, Inc. I often build and paint sets for plays, and sometimes I act in plays and films, usually in comedic roles. I still draw, too. I'm working on a graphic novel. I also work with K-4 students in Madison School District. I have added the accordion, concertina, and ukulele to the collection of musical instruments I like to play. I see myself as an "artist of occasions." I longboard downhill in Rexburg and I ski in the winter, and I also love to travel. You might find me in Yellowstone National Park several times a year. I'm grateful for the experience I gained ay SSHS. As difficult as high school can be at times, I know it laid the groundwork for everything I've done since. Thanks, everyone!
