As we ring in the year, we would like to welcome a couple of new members to our team at CivilSurv. Kelsey Whidden joined us last week as a stormwater and floodplain project manager in Sebring, while Matthew Goode comes onboard as a talent acquisition coordinator at our headquarters in Lakeland.

 

Working closely with Highlands County will be a natural fit for Kelsey as she transitions to her role with CivilSurv. A former floodplain manager-NPDES coordinator for the Highlands County BOCC the last two years, Kelsey has a multidisciplinary background in floodplain management, MS4 permit compliance and stormwater regulation. Her role with Highlands County included FEMA and FDEM floodplain management and CRS program administration.

 

While away from work, Kelsey enjoys spending time with her three kids – attending cheerleading events and Florida Southern baseball games – and her four dogs.

 

As CivilSurv continues to expand, Matthew will play a key role in the company’s growth. Prior to working in the Lakeland and Tampa area real estate markets for the past two years, Matthew gained professional and collegiate recruiting experience from 2018-2023. After beginning his career as a graduate admissions counselor for Keiser University, Matthew worked for NESC Staffing and Innovent Global in Boca Raton and West Palm Beach, respectively. In those positions he helped place qualified candidates for various roles, handling everything from crafting job descriptions to screening and interviewing applicants.

 

In his spare time, Matthew enjoys playing the drums and the piano, among other activities.

 

We are excited to have both Kelsey and Matthew as members of the team and look forward to seeing their contributions to our growing operation.
