What’s your power principle at work? My power principle is to “Treat others the way you would like to be treated.” A kind word and being respectful can make a huge difference in someone’s day. I always try to live by this principle at work and at home.

What’s your motivation to work and live safely? My two sons. I want to live a long and healthy life so I can witness their life journey.

Do you have a favorite work project? My favorite project at work was early in my career when I was involved in the first shared resources effort at Arkansas Nuclear One. Our team traveled to New Orleans to receive a Pinnacle Award due to the success of the project.

How did you learn about Entergy? I first learned about Entergy’s Arkansas Nuclear One plant at a young age. My father did contract work at the site during construction, and I remember his stories when they were building the cooling tower. I found the plant interesting, so it was a privilege to do an internship there after college. That internship led to a permanent position with Entergy.
