Chelsea Roller is the Director of Operations at Rank Fuse Digital Marketing. She graduated from the University of Kansas with a degree in Journalism and a minor in Linguistics in 2014. Since that time, she has dedicated her professional life to writing top-of-the-line content covering a wide range of topics spanning from health and fitness to home buying to precious metals and beyond. Her interest in linguistics has also led her to explore the nuances of language and grammar further.

As an avid animal lover, Chelsea got a dog after college—a Pomsky named Jacomo (Jock-uh-mo). Having her own dog led her into the realm of pet writing. To date, she has written over 150 articles about a variety of pet-related topics.

Even before she attended KU, Chelsea was a Jayhawk basketball fan. During peak basketball season, she sports KU gear almost daily (pun definitely intended); in fact, her closet is mostly crimson and blue.

When Chelsea isn’t in the office, she is spending time with her two sons, husband, and dog and exploring the KC food scene—especially sushi and taco joints. Always seeking laughter, you can also find Chelsea reading blogs and books by author Jenny Lawson (also known as The Bloggess) and watching Schitt’s CreekThe Office, and Parks and Rec.

As a travel and wine connoisseur, Adam is known for always providing champagne—no matter the occasion. His free time is often spent with his spunky puppy, Scout, and his son’s Boy Scout troop.

In her free time, Azayla enjoys nature walks with her dog, cuddling with her dog, and watching movies with her dog. Bear is a Border Collie-Pitbull mix, a rescue from the KC Pet Project. Oddly enough, she used to work at the city shelter before working at Rank Fuse. Fun Fact: Azayla has never lived without a dog by her side before, not even in college. As an avid dog lover, she gave up college life in the dorms to bring her dog with her in a studio apartment as a freshman in college. And she has no regrets.

When she’s not hanging out with her dog or at work, you can catch her sipping at a local coffee shop, walking around antique stores, or hammocking at Shawnee Mission Park while listening to Silk Sonic. Or any Bruno Mars song, really.
