Substation Maintenance Engineer at FirstEnergy

Newbury, Ohio, United States

About

I am originally from Newbury, Ohio. I moved out to New Jersey to take a job with FirstEnergy . I am a substation maintenance engineer for FirstEnergy, where I work mostly in the field as technical support and oversight on major substation construction projects. I chose electrical engineering as my major due to my fascination in the way electricity works and all the components that go along with it. I am also a graduate member of Phi Gamma Delta (Fiji) Chi Omicron Chapter, where I graduated from the university of Cincinnati.
