How has SCE helped supported you through your career?
SCE has supported me through my career through putting people first. I’ve had great coaches, mentors, and sponsors in my career to guide me and help with my development. I’ve had leaders who were understanding, supportive, and encouraging of me pursuing higher education. I’ve also had leaders who were very supportive during times of personal crisis such as a death in the family, allowing me to focus on family for a moment without feeling guilty about not focusing on work. In all, SCE has been great at being supportive of me as a person, both in life and career.
