Name: Elisabeth Schmidt
Position: Fiscal Analyst
What led you to your current position? I started working at Seneca as an Executive Assistant back in 2009. In that position, I was able to gain some amazing insight into the operations and leadership of the agency. When my son was born in 2014, I transitioned to the accounting department and have loved learning more about the fiscal workings of the agency.
Fun Fact/Quote? I enjoy playing board games! Lesser known is that I’ve recently started playing DND with my adult family members, and we love it!
What does your average day look like? On the surface, my average day looks pretty boring; sitting at my desk all day long with an occasional phone call or meeting sprinkled in. But in reality I have a lot of projects, invoices, tasks and things to track on a monthly basis which require a lot of internal collaboration, so I’m constantly in an excel spreadsheet or email, always trying to keep a big-picture view on the detail-intense tasks at hand.
Why do you do this work? I love working behind the scenes supporting Seneca’s values and mission to provide unconditional care and education to children and families. I have a strong personal satisfaction knowing that I’m doing the best job I can to support the fiscal needs of our programs and in turn, our partners and clients.
