Biography
Chessie grew up on the west side of Phoenix and attended Phoenix Christian High School. She has fond memories of playing sports against Valley and appreciates the irony of working for one of her high school’s biggest rivals. Chessie attended Chandler-Gilbert Community College and played basketball while receiving her associate’s degree in general studies. This is where she met her husband, Justin Ross, and they were married in 2003. She went on to Arizona State University and received a bachelor’s degree in elementary education. Chessie taught 3rd grade for a few years, and then stayed home with her children, Ryland (Junior) and Sarah (Sophomore). In 2017 she went back to school and earned a Bachelor of Science in nursing from Arizona College of Nursing. She worked as a cardiac nurse and then worked in the operating room at Phoenix Children’s Hospital for 3.5 years before coming to Valley. In her free time, she enjoys watching her kids play sports for Valley, lifting weights and volunteering in the youth group at church with Justin. She is currently serving as the 5-8 nurse and 5-6 classroom aide.
