Born and raised in southern California, Chelli attended UCLA for undergraduate studies. She majored in psychobiology. She decided to attend graduate school in 2009 after being a stay-at-home mom for 17 years. In her spare time, she enjoys anything water-related, whether on, in or under the water, where she feels most at home. She also enjoys exploring the world and has visited all 50 states and 5 continents.

“The first division of labour is that between man and woman for the propagation of children. And today I can add: the first class opposition that appears in history coincides with the development of the antagonism between man and woman in monogamous marriage and the first class oppression coincides with that of the female sex by the male."” Friedrich Engles
