What is the most meaningful part about working at SCE?
Climate change is the defining challenge of our times, and it is incredibly motivating to be working on decarbonizing our economy alongside my colleagues at SCE. We are helping to make the electricity grid cleaner, and through electrification of transportation and buildings, we are reducing greenhouse gas emissions, improving air quality, and putting California on the path to a carbon-free future. SCE gives me the opportunity to combine my engineering background with my passion for community service as we develop solutions to some of the most pressing and meaningful problems facing us today. I am truly grateful that I have this opportunity to take part in making the world a better and cleaner place for my children to inherit.
