What inspired you to join the industry?
I’ve always been interested in how things work, and energy powers everything around us. It felt like a career where I could do something meaningful every day. I found OG&E through a trade school while getting my certifications and applied for the Power Supply internship. That experience really opened my eyes—I saw how important the work is and how strong the team culture is. It made me want to stay in the industry for the long run.

What’s your most memorable experience on the job?
Our team supports Mobile Meals—we deliver meals to people in the community once a month. I also got to help build raised flower gardens for a local project. It’s a great feeling to give back and be involved outside of just the plant.

What advice would you give someone considering an energy career?
Take every chance to learn—internships are a perfect way to figure out if this is right for you. At OG&E, ask questions, be curious, and don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone. Everyone here wants to help you grow.
