Best Of

That is a very good question that I am still seeking the answer to myself. If you ask anybody at my company what my role is, you will get just as many answers. So I would probably turn the question around to the 5 year old and ask them what they think my role is and it is probably a better answer. Going forward I could use that 5 year old's summary to explain my role when asked by others! 😋

If I had to explain it to a 5-year-old, I’d say this:

“I help grown-ups get unstuck. If their team is confused or things feel messy, I swoop in like a helper superhero to show them better ways to work together, stay organized, and actually finish things. I use charts, plans, and a little bit of computer magic to make it happen.”

How would you describe your job to a five-year-old?

My official title is Curriculum Financial Analyst & Administrative Liaison, but if I were to describe my job to a five-year-old, I would simply state, "I help others by creating ways to keep watch over the money that we use to make purchases for the books and other supplies for your school's classrooms. It is my job to keep everything organized, kind of like when you visit your classroom libraries, or like when you have to put your stuff away in your room, everything has a place and everything in its place. That way, when somebody needs to find something, they know exactly where it is when they go to look for it. It is also my job to help my boss out so she can help your teachers do their jobs because you kids are what matter most and are why we do what we do as grownups, we take care of you and help you grow and learn each and every day!"
