Biography

During her time in law school, Kelsey further honed her skills as a legal intern with the Orlando Center for Justice and Catholic Charities of Central Florida’s Immigration Legal Services department, where she provided pro bono assistance to the greater Orlando community in issues related to asylum, VAWA, and removal defense.
