Mimi Chester is a ?Renaissance woman?-- actress, singer, writer, scholar-- living now in Charlotte NC. Mimi?s insatiable curiosity and zest for life made her survive and strive in the melting pot of New York City as an actress and entrepreneur, and retire now in Charlotte as a successful scholar. In 2013 Mimi obtained her Master in Business (Magna cum laude) and now is finishing a PhD in Business/Entrepreneurship. Her hobbies are: cruising, car racing (she was a champion in Europe), swimming, and in general exploring the world. Her nickname is ?Mimi?, but her name as an actress was Helene Cara (in her native Romania Elena Caragiu). She is married for 35 years to John Chester, so her new ?pen name? is now Mimi Chester.
