Kelsey T. Laird is our Client Services Director. Kelsey has been passionate about helping others since a young age. In high school, Kelsey worked with a local non-profit dedicated to community outreach and health education. Her time with that organization inspired her to major in Social Work at Appalachian State University. During her time at Appalachian, she had the opportunity to volunteer with several community programs including Western Youth Network and Wine to Water, but it was her internship with the Guardian ad Litem program which sparked her interest in the legal system.

After graduation Kelsey worked with young adults with special needs to obtain employment and learn vital life skills through a pilot program that filled the gap in public services for this population after they graduated high school.

Kelsey lives in Durham with her husband, Erik. They spend most of their time chasing after their two children, Olivia and Max, and their dog Amos. Kelsey enjoys hiking, traveling and exploring the Bull City!
