Kelsey entered law school well-prepared by her education at UAA. While working toward her B.A. in Justice, she was in the University Honors College, a Forty-Ninth State Fellow, and traveled the world as a competitive debater in the Seawolf Debate program. In addition to Justice coursework, she worked as a student researcher on a project with the Alaska State Troopers and Anchorage Police Department. In 2013, Kelsey delivered the student speech at commencement.
This September, Kelsey will begin a year-long fellowship as a deputy district attorney in a rural town in southern Colorado. The purpose of the fellowship is to encourage recent graduates to work in rural areas which have trouble drawing legal professionals because of low pay and under staffing. During her fellowship she will most likely specialize in sexual assault cases, she wrote in an email.
After her fellowship, Kelsey plans to return to the metro area in Colorado and work as a deputy district attorney for a year or two before applying to become an FBI agent — a goal she's long held.
