Kelsey Larson was Turlock High School's 2002 Valedictorian and, after graduating, she attended Santa Clara University where she earned a B.A. in History and a B.S. in Economics. She then went on to UCLA for law school and is currently a civil litigator with the law firm of O'Melveney & Meyers, LLP in Los Angeles. The bulk of Kelsey's practice involves class action and pharmaceutical product liability defense. Many THS teachers made a memorable mark on Kelsey including Dennis Cornwall, Sue Bonander, Randy Huth, and Wayne Hinds. Kelsey shared that while she did not always remember the facts learned in these teachers' classes in high school, she consistently employed the skills learned--critical analysis, public speaking, and solid writing. Kelsey encourages students to never underestimate their abilities; set ambitious goals with the understanding that these can be modified as they develop and discover their passions; and to not be afraid to ask questions and advocate for themselves. Kelsey is married to Brent Larson, a THS Class of 2002 graduate as well, and they have two children--Linnea (3 years old) and William (20 months old) and live in La Canada Flintbridge, CA.
