"i enjoy working at palisades for many reasons. i find my work challenging and rewarding at the same time. i appreciate the growth opportunities i've had at palisades and have had many experiences through travel and training for work. i value the relationships i've made through the employee resource groups at palisades and entergy. women in nuclear (win) has given me so many opportunities of empowerment and development over the past 7 years. 

"i started working at palisades in january 2005 as a security officer. my brother encouraged me to apply for this role. he'd been a security officer for six months at the time and spoke highly of the organization and his coworkers. in january 2012, i accepted a position as supervisor of document control and records management, with 15 employees reporting to me. with the encouragement of my director, i set my eyes on the emergency planning department. in february 2016, i accepted my current role as senior emergency planner. my daily duties vary from staffing the emergency response organization to siren maintenance.
