Meet Shameka Wilson, the first woman in BGE history to serve as gas controller! |
|
As Baltimore Gas and Electric's first woman gas controller, Shameka Wilson and her co-workers are responsible for ensuring safe, reliable natural gas service to more than 680,000 BGE customers. In a natural gas utility, Gas Control is the brains behind the company’s gas service central nervous system. Staffed 24/7, the department keeps watch over the utility’s gas delivery system.
Shameka started her career in the U.S. Army, including a year spent supporting U.S. troops in Iraq as an equipment operator. Shameka then returned to her home city of Baltimore in 2004, and two years later, she joined BGE and eventually moved to the natural gas side of the business. She also helps support struggling veterans and people experiencing homelessness, as well as providing direct encouragement for Baltimore’s youth.
One message Shameka has to women looking to advance: “Don’t be intimidated by a new work possibility — even in an all-male setting". 👏
