Hello, 

My name is Chelsea Modlin, and I am an adjunct instructor in the MCC program. In my full-time job, I work as a mental health therapist in a human service agency where we provide outpatient services to individuals with significant mental health and/or substance use diagnoses. I have five sons ages 17, 12, 8, 7, and 6 and I stay very busy with their activities that include many sports! We have two golden retrievers named Lola and Lucy and a bearded dragon named Trexx. When I have free time, I love to work in my flower garden and read.
