In 2015, her high school senior project was on telecom network’s role to support SCE’s electrical power system. She started as a Data Engineering intern in 2018.

Ms. Devadoss is passionate about empowering young girls and women to become successful in their careers. She supported the organization EmpowHer through a fundraiser in IT Grid Services group. The organization focuses on reducing high school dropout rate among disadvantaged girls from low-income families.
She continued to show her passion for encouraging women by presenting a technically complex project at the IT Women’s Leadership Forum. Her most mesmerizing and memorable experience was when she competed in the Miss America local beauty pageant and featured in the IT Grid Services newsletter. Her social impact initiative speech for the pageant was about inspiring women to enter managerial ranks.

What is the most meaningful part about working at SCE?
I published a research paper on “Do Mentorship Programs and Supportive Environment Encourage Women to Enter Leadership Positions?” I interviewed several SCE employees in various executive and managerial ranks about how women overcome challenges on their climb up the management ladder. Some of these executives included Pedro Pizarro, Jacqueline Trapp, Jill Anderson, and Caroline Choi. It is amazing to work in a company that allows me to build professional relationships with leaders who are willing to mentor and guide me in my career journey.
