I am a Power Analyst at Vermont Public Power Supply Authority (VPPSA). My main duty is Daily Resource Planning, which includes customer load and electricity price forecasting, resource scheduling, power trading, and communication with Vermont Electric Power Company (VELCO) and ISO-New England. Other duties include monthly billing allocations per customer as well as Power Budgets, Rate Cases, and Resource Reports.

My Saint Michael’s mathematics education has helped me in many ways. The mathematics experience as a whole has equipped me with “tools” to make my job easier. It has prepared me to be more systematic in my work and has helped me find helpful relationships between numbers. Also, it has better equipped me to be a problem-solver, especially when it comes to formulas in spreadsheets.
