We are excited to announce Kennedy Nickelman as the winner of the first annual Meagher Injury Lawyers Thad Meagher Emerging Influencers Scholarship. Kennedy just graduated from Highlands High School in Ft. Thomas, Kentucky. Her friend (and cheerleading teammate) Lilliana (who sadly passed away three years ago) has had a major influence on her life. Lilliana always had a positive attitude with a smile on her face, always put others before herself, and was always ready to work hard. Kennedy inspires to carry on these attributes that Lilliana possessed. Kennedy volunteers at numerous local events and organizations. She will be attending the University of Cincinnati as a nursing major this Fall. We are honored to present her with this scholarship.
