Mrs. Henkel has been working at Greenfield School as the Finance Director since July 2012. She also manages the human resources at the school. Her day-to-day job has a lot of variety, which she likes.

When asked what her to day-to-day job is like, Mrs. Henkel replied, “It varies. It’s crazy. Some days I might be reconciling the balance sheet, or some days it might be reconciling bank statements, and some days it might be doing pay roll, or some days it might be answering questions to help people get to their paycheck, or today I was working on 10-99s that I have to file at the end of the year for anybody that we hired for sub-contractors.” When asked what the hardest part of her job is, Mrs. Henkel reflected, “Sometimes it’s the deadlines that I have to meet.” She went on to explain some examples of her various deadlines.

Many people don’t see all the work Mrs. Henkel does, but her efforts help keep Greenfield School running.
