While visiting colleges during high school, Kristen fell in love with Florida;
she arrived in Florida in the fall of 1994 to start at Flagler College.  After
spending just three months on the campus and experiencing Florida, she
officially “moved” to Florida in January 1995.  Through an internship her Senior
year at Flagler College, she was offered a job with a State agency before even
obtaining her degree. This adjusted her plans about attending Law School
following graduation.  She graduated from Flagler College, with honors, in 1998
with a major in Psychology and a minor in Pre-Law.

She has worked for two different State Agencies for the State of Florida.  Her
employment with those agencies provided many different opportunities and
experiences, including case management and documentation, assisting people
navigate available community services and the Court system, serving on several
interagency boards and committees, senior management, creating and providing job
specific in-service training to staff, assisting with the implementation of and
providing training on new data systems, experience with accreditation
applications and the accreditation process, achieving national accreditation for
a local agency, completing quality assurance reviews and auditing of state and
county records, just to name a few.

In May 2011, Kristen joined the City of Bunnell family, working in the Community
Development Department.  In this role, she gained knowledge and experience in
several other City of Bunnell departments.  In January 2016, Kristen moved from
the Community Development Department to the City Clerk Office when she was hired
as the Deputy City Clerk.  In November 2016, she began serving as the Interim
Community Development Director and continued to serve as Deputy Clerk.  On
November 27, 2017, Kristen was hired as the City Clerk while continuing to serve
as the Interim Community Development Director.   She continued to serve as the
Interim Community Development Director until January 2019.  Currently, Kristen
oversees the City Clerk office which includes Human Resources, Solid Waste,
Fleet and Parks and Recreation.

In January 2019, Kristen earned her Certified Municipal Clerk (CMC) credentials,
completing a 3-year program in just over two years.  As a City Clerk, she
maintains memberships with the International Institute of Municipal Clerks, the
Florida Association of City Clerks, and the Alachua County City Clerk
Association to stay current on matters affecting City business and operations. 
As a Certified Municipal Clerk, Kristen also mentors other City Clerks across
the State of Florida.  In 2020, she participated in the Northeast Florida
Regional Council (NEFRC) Regional Leadership Academy (RLA).  After a brief delay
due to COVID, she graduated from RLA, at the end of 2021 and is now a part of
the Regional Community Institute of Northeast Florida, Inc. (RCI), the
nonprofit, 501(c)(3) organization that works with the NEFRC.  It serves as a
policy "think tank" for NEFRC.   In June 2021, Kristen became a Certified
Business Tax Official and is a member of the Florida Association of Business Tax
Officials to ensure the City complies with Florida Statutes for local business
tax receipts (LBTRs).
