Serena Asher
HYDEN, KY - The Leslie County Sheriff’s Office is reporting that: Their May Employee Spotlight is shining on Serena Asher, a lifelong resident of Leslie County. She is a graduate of Leslie County High School. Serena began working about 32 years ago at Roberts Market on Stinnett and has been in secretarial work and bookkeeping since about 1990.
Serena has and still works for Attorney Edmond Collett, where she handles some of his bookkeeping. In the midst of her career Serena attended Hazard Community College. Serena worked in the Leslie County Judges office for 12 years as the Occupational Tax Administrator; she also assisted with FEMA projects around the county. In January 2019 Serena made a transition over to the Sheriff’s Office.
We have tried to find an easy way to describe Serena’s positon here at the Sheriff’s Office but she’s a lady who wears many hats. Serena is our secretary, bookkeeper, tax collector, human resources director, office manager and grant writer, just to name a few of her duties. When we say that she is the glue that holds this office together that’s 100% true. Serena handles all of our office affairs and does it professionally, accurately and gracefully.
Serena’s experience is second to none and we truly feel the citizens of Leslie County are lucky to have her assist in their needs here at the Sheriff’s Office. She has the computer skills needed to handle our daily operations, budgeting experience, and the management skills that keep our office running smoothly. Serena’s position is critical for this office and all of Leslie County. She handles her duties without complaint.
In the past year Serena has made arrangements to update our computers, add a credit card program for payments, bar code scanners for efficiency in tax collections, and update other necessary office equipment. If you have a question, she has the answer. Serena has collected thousands of dollars in grant funding for our office over the past year, grants that have outfitted our deputies with new equipment, funding for new vehicles and bullet proof vests. Our budgets have been in balance and audits clear thus far in this new administration.
In Serena’s free time she enjoys spending time with her family and friends especially her husband Coy, son Davin, step-son Josh and wife Andrea and her three grandbabies.
Serena is an active member of the Stinnett Pentecostal Church.
Join is in congratulating Mrs. Serena Asher for our May Employee Spotlight!
