After an amazing career in big box retail management that included K-Mart and Hallmark Corporations, Kristie started in Child Support in 1998 with Arapahoe County as the front desk person. Kristie worked her way up to supervisor by the time she left in 2007 when her husband got a job in the Vail Valley. After relocating she was hired by Eagle County as their Child Support Supervisor. Kristie worked in Eagle County in several positions that included managing all programs (TANF, MED, SNAP etc.) until 2014. After a short hiatus she joined Garfield County as a Long-Term Care specialist and then as a child support lead. The company her husband worked for down sized and they moved back to the Front Range where Kristie joined Jefferson County as the Interstate Team Lead. Even though she loved Jeffco, Kristie could not pass up the opportunity to join the Central Registry Team at the State office in 2018. One of her main responsibilities is developing and delivering training for external partners (like all our amazing counties). Kristie has a bachelor’s degree in Sociology and Political Science from Iowa State University and a Master of Science Degree in Organizational Leadership and Adult Learning from Colorado State University Global Campus. Kristie lives with 5 men: her husband Craig, two sons Seth and Noah and their two dogs Diesel the Chocolate Lab and Yogi the St. Bernard.
