Professional Qualifications

EDUCATED & EXPERIENCED

Working hand in hand with the Circuit Court Clerk’s office for 18 years has strengthened my understanding of court operations and case management.

Honors Graduate from Middle Tennessee State University with a bachelor’s degree in social work, focusing on human behavior and ethics
Began my service to Coffee County in 2007 as a Youth Services Officer. I worked alongside with Juvenile Court and multiple state and county agencies to support at-risk youth through case management and crisis intervention.

Kelsie’s Vision as Circuit Court Clerk:

~Leadership that IS the Standard~

APPROACHABLE

I will set the standard by being in my office with the door open, available and willing to have face-to-face conversations with the public, Judges, county departments & officials to restore the broken communication.
ACCOUNTABLE

Confidence isn’t built on one single leader, it is built on a stable system. I will commit to providing turnover rates, volume of cases handled and fees collected. My office will be transparent.
As the law requires, my office will keep your confidential information private and will have zero tolerance for failures to do so.
ACCURATE

I will implement performance measures, which are essential to meeting goals and objectives. This new approach will ensure the office functions as a cohesive, successful team maintaining and preserving accurate records.
