Kristen D. Hargis

I am an administrative professional with more than 13 years of experience supporting operations, records management, compliance, and customer service in highly regulated environments.

Throughout my career, I have built a reputation as the person colleagues turn to when they need answers, solutions, or guidance. I enjoy creating efficient processes, improving workflows, and ensuring that critical documentation is handled accurately and in compliance with applicable requirements.

In my current role, I manage more than 1,500 vital record filings annually across Tennessee, Mississippi, and Arkansas while supporting administrative operations for multiple locations. My experience includes records management, accounts payable, vendor coordination, staff training, office administration, and process improvement. I am also commissioned as a Notary Public in both Tennessee and Mississippi.

I take pride in being detail-oriented, dependable, and adaptable. Whether I am troubleshooting complex documentation issues, supporting operational needs, or helping team members navigate processes, my goal is always the same: make things run smoothly, accurately, and efficiently.
