Chosen for this week’s Staff Spotlight is Mrs. Shari Godinsky. This is currently her fourth year in the Brooklyn City School District. Previously, she was a director for corporate events, she did a lot of traveling, and she worked in other school districts in a variety of roles. In her free time, she likes to be with her family, her grandkids, her kids, and her animals. A fun fact about her is that she likes to have fun, is a little bit of a jokester, and loves to make people laugh.
Q: Out of all the roles Brooklyn has to offer, why did you choose this one?
A: “It was very similar to what I had experience in, a wide variety of different things. I don’t do the same thing every day. I work with so many different people, so I was able to get to know everybody in Brooklyn.”
Q: What are the challenges that you face throughout the day?
A: “There are challenges everyday because working in the Building and Grounds Department, there is a lot to cover as well as around the building and in the building, in addition to some of the staffing issues.”
Q: What makes a good day at work?
A: “When everything runs smoothly or if you do have a conflict and it all gets worked out.”
Q: If you could pass on any words of advice to the students at Brooklyn, what would you share?
A: “Never give up on your dream; go for it!”
Q: What is your biggest pet peeve?
A: “I guess I do not really have one; I am pretty easy going. There is not a whole lot that bothers me. I just roll with everything.”
Q: Is there a quote or saying that you live by?
A: “I guess I would say, ‘Just get it done.’ No matter what we are faced with in the department, I am in, and we all have to get it done. There is no second choice. We just have to get it done.”
Q: If you could choose only one meal to eat for the rest of your life, what would it be?
A: “Probably lunch because it is in the middle of the day.”
Q: If you could choose a superpower, what would you pick?
A: “I would probably just make everyday a good day: No drama!”
Thank you for letting us interview you, Mrs. Godinsky. Enjoy the Summer ahead with your family.
