She also received Screen Actors Guild awards when “The Office” cast was named outstanding ensemble in a comedy series in 2007 and 2008. The show won the Emmy Award for outstanding comedy series in 2006.

Kinsey's television credits include "All of Us," "Run of the House," "King of the Hill," "Mad TV,” “Mind of Mencia” and “Monk.” She will perform opposite Brendan Fraser in the comedy feature film “Furry Vengeance” slated for release in April. She made a cameo appearance in the 2007 film “License to Wed,” and she appears in ads for Clairol hair products.

Kinsey formerly worked as an operator for a telephone service that matches patients and dentists, and she has said that she often draws upon that work in corporate America for her scenes in “The Office.”
