“I have personally lived through four natural disasters in my life. Most of my time in law school has been spent working on disaster litigation, disaster recovery, and disaster research... I’m very eager to go back to Kentucky and do the work I’ve been intending to do since I was 18.” - Ella Helmuth, L’24
