Your problem is with this line:

let msg = firstName ' ' + lastName ': ' +role;

It should look like this:

let msg = firstName + ' ' + lastName + ': ' + role;

You have to use the "+" concatenation operator between all strings that you wish to concatenate regardless of whether they are literal strings or strings contained within variables. Concatenation is merely nerdspeak for append.

I hope you find this helpful,
