what’s your power principle at work? our work environment should be one where everyone enjoys coming to work. it should be a place where everyone is proud to be part of a great team that accomplishes meaningful work. i want my teammates to know i value them and their contributions, and i hope they feel the same about me. the trust we have in each other helps us make a difference for the communities we serve.
what motivates you to live and work safely? my family, friends and co-workers inspire me to live and work safely every day. i genuinely want each one of us to enjoy a long and healthy life. that’s why i strive to be accident and injury free at work and home every day.
what’s the best work-related advice you’ve ever been given? treat others the way you would want to be treated. i encountered that from my first experience with entergy. in 1984, i was a mississippi state university student hoping to find a job before i graduated. i interviewed with several companies. some of them flew candidates to their headquarters via commercial airlines or corporate jets; that was quite impressive to a college student. i was more impressed with entergy mississippi, which was then mississippi power & light. they were interested in getting to know me without a display of grand gestures. the company picked us up in a van and drove us to jackson, mississippi for interviews. the people i met along the way were kind, smart and down-to-earth. i was fortunate to receive offers from several of those companies, and i accepted with mp&l. i guess a van is more my style. i’m not even certain that van had air conditioning, but i do know i’ve never regretted my decision. entergy is a great company made up of great people.
what’s been your favorite project at work? tackling challenging issues is one of my favorite things about being an engineer. i enjoy collaborating with my teammates to find solutions for those challenges. it’s rewarding to know that the work we do helps deliver more reliable power to our customers.
