Alumni Focus: Kelvin Scott

When it comes to careers in human resource management, Turner College graduate Kelvin Scott has had one of the more interesting.  After graduating from CSU with a BBA in marketing in 2002, Scott began his career as an assistant manager with Kenneth Cole Productions.  Working out of the company’s Atlanta and Orlando offices, Kelvin managed the interviewing, hiring, orientation, and training of all new-hires. He also assisted with strategic analysis of store performance in both sales and market share.  After four years with KCP (2003-2006), Kelvin took on the role of human resources manager for Six Flags over Georgia, where he managed all staffing events, recruitment efforts and hiring procedures.  In this position, Kelvin created, maintained, and balanced a yearly HR budget totaling $450,000.  During his time working for Six Flags over Georgia (2007-2012), he added to his education credentials by earning an MBA from the University of Phoenix.  This work prepared him for his next career stop as human resources manager for the Atlanta Braves.  In this position Kelvin assisted with employee relations, evaluations, merit processes and staffing.  During his nearly 6.5 years with the Braves (2012-2018), Kelvin would advance to the position of Senior Manager of Human Resources, and later to Director of Human Resources.  Kelvin’s tenure with the Atlanta Braves prepared him for advancement to the position of Senior Director of Human Resources for the Washington Nationals, which he held from the end of 2018 to the middle of 2021.  It was at that time that Kelvin took on his current role as People and Culture Director for Legend Homes and Camillo Properties of Houston, Texas.
