Meet the Team
Each member of the team in the Clerk’s department plays a cornerstone role for the overall function. Critical to the team’s excellence is their strong sense of duty to doing what's right and to providing excellent services to residents.
Deputy Clerk
Pursuant to state law, each clerk must appoint a deputy to assure that the critical functions of local government can operate seamlessly even when the clerk is absent.
Deana Mondock is the Deputy Clerk. A graduate of MSU, she worked in the private sector before joining the clerk's department in 2005. In 2013 she was appointed Deputy Clerk. Her technical expertise, combined with leadership and long-term institutional knowledge is critical to operating municipal government. Deana has earned both state and national professional certifications and has held every elected position leading the Oakland County Clerk's Association.
Clerk's Associates
Each has earned the Michigan Professional Municipal Clerk certification, a 3-year program.
Sean Mueller joined the department in August 2020 after graduating from Saginaw Valley State University. He is the person you are likely to talk with about many different permits and licenses and to request public records. Sean supports elections by being responsible for the election equipment. When not at work, he is a statewide leader for the Optimist Club. Sean personifies Optimists' values: optimism, leadership, hope, support, and achievement.
Catarina Yankey joined us in 2022 after graduating from U of M. She studied political science and was active in student government. Catarina is the person who is responsible for marshaling the resources necessary to run elections. She recruits community members, conducts training, assigns the workers, and provides leadership on Election Day. In the Township, elections and Catarina are synonymous, reflecting her passion for the democratic process which began in high school when she first worked in a precinct on Election Day. Catarina was recently elected Secretary for the Oakland County Clerk's Association.
Kelda London joined the department earlier this year and rounds out the team with extensive municipal experience. She has been the Deputy Clerk in Southfield, the Clerk in Lathrup Village and worked a couple of decades in the Village of Franklin. She has a wealth of experiences and knowledge that reinforces our commitment to free and fair elections and excellent customer services. What's special about Kelda is that she also runs marathons - anyone who can do that can achieve anything they put their mind to!
Elections Intern
Hayley Bedell is the Elections Intern. She graduated from Groves High School and is a senior at the University of Michigan. Hayley has her sights on law school, but we know that she will be a big success in any path she chooses.
The Role of the Clerk's Office
The Clerk is responsible to:

The Clerk’s election responsibilities are not just an Election Day activity.
