I work with data collection and reporting on students and teachers and the job is both important and I am proud to do it. The data are used for funding, makes continuing services when moving between schools and districts smoother, shows progress or a lack of progress on some educational goals, and my part in the process is ensuring it is collected and is reported in a way that matches the intended collection. I have worked in the same agency for almost two decades but have hoped around the various areas and amd the go to person if someone doesn't know who to ask.

I also get pulled into the more difficult projects, such as our rework of the agency website so we can meet accessibility requirements and the information is kept up to date and cleaned out when it is no longer relevant. Keeping projects from being derailed is something I am apparently really good at. My current position is a project manager, the good kind that keeps things moving so everyone else can do their job and spreads the credit around.
