Meet the pros: Jasmin Haroldson
12/18/2023
Meet Jasmin Haroldson, an engineer in the distribution asset management program design group, based out of Conroe, Texas.
Haroldson, who has a bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering from Texas State University, was born in Alberta, Canada but is a Texan at heart, moving to the Lone Star State at two years old. She joined Entergy in 2018 as a field engineer responsible for the Huntsville and Navasota networks, then moved to her current position in late 2019. Since 2021, her role has included managing the distribution pole program.
“Our team is responsible for managing the inspection, treatment, restoration, and replacement of the distribution wood poles across our system. The program has come a long way and it’s evident to see the reliability improvements we’re making.”
That impact on reliability is one of Haroldson’s favorite things about her job.
“I like the fact that we can see the difference we’re making. It feels very personal when we make an improvement to the system, then see the outages go down and reliability measures go up.”
Like many Entergy employees, Jasmin notes an especially impactful time to see that connection to the community is during storm restoration. As a member of the forensics team during storm activation, Jasmin is part of a group that that investigates situations and events to identify what could be done differently to avoid them in the future. Her team also assists in storm restoration by executing existing and planned projects, obtaining right-of-way approval, and relocating off-road lines to be truck accessible.
Haroldson explained she’s most proud to work for Entergy that when she thinks about the company’s involvement in, and impact on, the community.
“Now that I work here, I realize just how much goes into being able to flip a switch and have a light turn on. And more than that, just how much Entergy touches everything in our communities. We really do power life.”
Outside of work, Jasmin enjoys hiking, traveling, and fishing. Her favorite trip, which encompassed all three passions, was to Alaska.
