My career at LES has been very diverse, and our environmental team performs work all across our service territory. I am passionate about reducing the environmental impact of our work and about making a contribution to both LES and the community we serve.

I believe what makes LES a great place to work is I not only get to do my job to the best of my ability, but employees are also allowed the opportunity to volunteer and participate in many of the LES-organized activities which give back to our community.

Living in Lincoln, I was familiar with LES — not just as the electric company in town, but a company that supported the community in events and programs to educate families on how to save on their electricity bills. These things attracted me to work at LES, and in my role today, I enjoy identifying improvements to keep the system working safely and efficiently.

If I had a chance to change anything in my career path, I wouldn’t. I have been fortunate to be able to progress within LES and now work with a super-talented team that uses innovation to support our customers' needs from power generation down to the meter.
