Eleven years after an accident that left her paralyzed, Vietti continues to advocate
ELLSWORTH — It is not new news that Chelsea Vietti is an inspiration to many.
Since surviving a car accident that left her paralyzed nearly 11 years ago, Vietti, 32, has become a dance teacher, peer mentor and found love with her husband, Justin. The pair will celebrate their two-year anniversary in July.
Besides her go-getter attitude, Vietti seeks to educate others with injuries like hers — reminding them that they can do anything they set their minds to.
“I don’t know if I’ll ever know why I was chosen to survive my accident,” the Ellsworth woman reflected in a recent interview. “Maybe it’s to advocate for people who can’t advocate for themselves.”
