Candidate Statement

the Pes is the home to the world's
most innovative and hard-working leaders in the power and energy field. the
industry is experiencing significant
changes, including the increased availability of natural gas, the growth in

renewable, and demand-side and storage technologies. My goal is to be a catalyst of action and a messenger of the
future, empowering Pes members to
adapt the changes and creating opportunities for young engineers to advance
their professional careers. successfully
addressing these challenges will require every member to join together in
developing creative, socially responsible solutions-that simultaneously
honor the unique interests of each.
For the last two years, i have served
as secretary of Pes. i am honored to be
nominated for the second term, as secretary of Pes. i would continue to help
each member maximize the benefits
from involvement with this undisputed
internationally leading technical association. specifically, i would bring my
thoughtful, yet optimistic, approach to
the role, as well as my commitment to
work toward bringing together members'
voices for the betterment of society.
