As we celebrate our amazing staff throughout the month of May for Employee Appreciation Month, we are so excited to spotlight the hardworking individuals and teams who keep Colusa County moving forward!
Today we are celebrating Kimmy Ortiz, Deputy Clerk, Clerk-Recorder-Elections Department.
Kimmy has been with the County a little over one year and she has already made a tremendous impact. Kimmy brings with her a cheerful presence, and an incredibly kind heart, and brings a very professional public service response that reflects the very best of who we are as a County.
She is loyal, dependable, and approaches every task openly with a willing can do attitude. Kimmy pays attention to every detail, is conscientious with her job performance, and is a great team player. She consistently goes above and beyond in all the departments she supports. She has truly stretched herself in learning multiple areas in just one year. If one listens to how Kimmy interacts with the public, it is like she is talking to a friend. She listens intently, responds kindly, and makes sure nobody leaves without an answer, and feeling heard.
Outside of work Kimmy loves the outdoors – whether she’s spending time with her dog Huckleberry, her horse Gracie, fishing, or gardening. Most of all she is a devoted mother to her incredible son Cody.
Kimmy exemplifies the spirit of public service, compassion and commitment. She represents the best of our community and we are so lucky to have her on our team.
