Many thanks to Shanta Eaden, MBA, PMP, CDP and the entire #ERG Exchange team for inviting me as a panelist at Leader's Edge Consulting's quarterly #ERG exchange! I thoroughly enjoyed the experience and found it incredibly rewarding. Sharing insights, experiences, and best practices to enhance both professional and personal lives is a true passion of mine. 🧡 I’d also like to give a big shout-out to Genesys Works Houston for their outstanding work in the community and providing an impactful mission moment, and Yvonne N. Harris SPHR, SHRM-SCP, your knowledge, and practical guidance were truly inspiring. Lastly, a heartfelt thank you to all the wonderful #ERG Exchange members I had the pleasure of networking with. The mentor circles provided fantastic conversations, and I learned so much from each of you. #inclusion #culture #leadership #brg #erg #engagement #dei #professionaldevelopment #mentorship #sponsorship

Congratulations Jonathan H Rivera! We look forward to your future success. 🎓
I DID IT!!! After endless all-nighters, moments-before-the-test study sessions, late-work emails, and half-baked Google slide presentations, I am now a graduated student from Energy Institute High School!!! In my last four academic years, I feel that I accomplished a lot, from my time as a summer intern in the Ion Houston Prototyping Lab, working as a teacher assistant in my school, and my yearlong internship, with the help of Hulda Flores and Genesys Works Houston, working at Kinder Morgan, Inc. !! I was able to get my SOLIDWORKS CSWA for Mechanical Design and Additive Manufacturing, making some of the best friends that I have made along the way! Thank you so much Energy Institute, especially Lauren Baird and Ralph Hamilton, since y'all were the ones who taught me most about the manufacturing and designing world. Thank you Lori Lambropoulos, Rebecca De La Rosa, Manuel Ortiz, Juan Cuevas, Joseluis Hernandez, Anthony Rosales, and Mateo Reyes for helping and supporting me through this chapter of my life.
