Meet Tali Kavapalu, Journeyman Lineman at #NVEnergy ⚡: As a journeyman lineman, I am constantly monitoring our system to ensure that power is always available to our customers. I do everything from setting up the job plan to making sure that everybody is safe and makes it home at the end of the day. My favorite part of my job is being able to give back to the community that I grew up in. Once while working during a storm, a child came up to me and thanked me for the work that I was doing to keep his power on. This was a full circle moment for me, knowing that my work impacts the lives of the people in my community! Ensuring the job is done effectively and safely #ThisIsWhatWeDo
