Meet Brezelle White

Brezelle White is the reactor engineering supervisor at Grand Gulf, and has worked at the site for three years.

As part of her role, she provides oversight and support to the reactor engineers when developing plans to safely operate and maintain the reactor.

“I like being an engineer because I am always learning something new. The job is never boring,” said White. “My group is welcoming, supportive and particularly likes my positive energy. Grand Gulf specifically has a wonderful family culture. Everyone is always willing to help out.”

White is also passionate about encouraging other women to get into the STEM field.

“To all the women pursuing STEM, I would encourage you to know that you can use your degree in a multitude of ways,” she noted. “Even if your degree is in a specialized topic, you have the tools to take advantage of unique opportunities beyond your field. I would tell any little girl, teen or woman that 'you can do anything you want to do as long as you work hard and maintain your drive’.”

Fun fact:

White loves to travel. She has been to three continents, but her favorite place is the Caribbean because the water is so blue and perfect for surfing.
