Employee Spotlight: Daphne Bass

This week we are excited to spotlight Daphne Bass!

Daphne plays an important behind-the-scenes role in helping keep the courtroom running smoothly and efficiently. She enjoys supporting and training her coworkers as the court system continues to grow and adapt, and she is grateful for the opportunity to work alongside great colleagues and a wonderful Judge.

Outside of work, Daphne is proud of raising her family with her husband, Bryce, and strives to be someone others can always depend on. She enjoys serving alongside her husband as pastors at The Hill Church, investing in their church community, and encouraging others.

Fun fact: Daphne is always up for some 90’s hits and a little dancing.

What motivates her at work is making sure everything is done correctly and runs smoothly, helped along by coffee and 7 Brew.

Her favorite comforts include a 7 Brew energy drink or a good steak and baked potato.

Thank you, Daphne, for your dedication, positivity, and all you do each day!
Kimberly Clinton, Circuit Clerk

✨ Staff Spotlight: Tess ✨

We’re proud to take a moment to recognize Tess, a valued member of our team here in the Jasper County Circuit Clerk’s Office. Tess brings a positive attitude, strong work ethic, and a true sense of pride in what she does each day.

She shares that her favorite part of the job is working alongside her amazing coworkers and getting to serve in the beautiful Carthage Courthouse and it shows. Tess plays an important role in helping the Child Support side of Family Court run smoothly, and her dedication makes a difference for the families we serve.

Outside of the office, Tess is proud of several accomplishments, including graduating college, owning her own home, and being a great dog mom. When she’s not at work, she enjoys creating stained glass, diamond painting, and spending time with her fur baby, as well as working on her home and in her yard.

A fun fact about Tess, she has an identical twin sister! And if she could have any superpower, she’d choose time travel (which we’d all probably take advantage of from time to time!). Her go-to comfort favorites? Mexican food and potatoes.

Tess’s commitment to her work and the care she puts into everything she does does not go unnoticed.

We are lucky to have her as part of our team! 👏🏼

Last week, a few clerks were able to attend MOPACC, continuing their education and staying up to date on the important work we do for the courts and the public.

I’m proud of our team for taking the time to learn, grow, and better serve Jasper County. Several clerks were also recognized with certificates for their years of service, a true reflection of their dedication and commitment.

And of course, we took a little time to celebrate too, one night with a fun 90’s theme!

Continued education matters, and so do the people who show up every day to serve.

Today, I want to recognize two of our outstanding court clerks, Ashley and Lacey.

In addition to their daily responsibilities serving the citizens of Jasper County, they took time out of their own schedules to volunteer and help make the Missouri Professional Association of Court Clerks (MOPACC) a success.

Their willingness to step up, give back to their profession, and represent our office with professionalism and pride does not go unnoticed. This kind of dedication is what strengthens not only our office, but the court system as a whole.

I am proud to have Ashley and Lacey on our team and grateful for their continued commitment to excellence.

Kimberly Clinton, Circuit Clerk
