Each June, the Energetic Women Conference welcomes energy professionals from across the country to a women-focused leadership conference offering career development and networking opportunities to those in operations, engineering and leadership.
This year, Detroit is hosting the annual event, during which attendees will participate in industry tours, educational sessions and activities to hone their leadership and interpersonal skills.
We’re proud to share DTE employees who are not only developing their own energy careers — they’re mentoring and inspiring other women to build their careers in the energy industry too.

Meet … Eden S., supervisor, Overhead Field Operations “My father was a power plant operator at the St. Clair power plant for 23 years. Growing up in that environment inspired my career trajectory, which began at DTE as a student co-op. It was then I tapped into my passion for working hands-on in the field, troubleshooting and led to an engineer position within power generation. Today, I’m expanding my career through a leadership role as an Overhead Supervisor within DTE’s Distribution Operations and love that a career within DTE offers employees a variety of paths and unlimited room for growth.” |
