The Project
Elizabeth’s project was established in response to the tornado outbreak that affected parts of the Midwestern United States and lower Great Plains in May 2013. The project involved providing legal advice and assistance to storm victims in order to help them recover from the economic, physical, and emotional devastation of the storms and resume their lives.
Elizabeth was born and raised in Oklahoma and this project allowed her to help her community. Additionally, having spent the first years of her career at Legal Aid Services of Oklahoma, she jumped at the chance to work with the organization again.
