From Alaska to Xcel Energy, Inclusive Leader Empowering Others Through STEM and Service: Meet Electrical Engineer and MBA, Alicia Harvey

What is your personal/professional story?

I am originally from Anchorage, Alaska and came to Denver to attend DU. I am currently a Transmission Compliance Coordinator for Xcel Energy responsible for development and implementation of documentation for compliance to meet regulatory requirements for programs such as NERC and FERC. Previously, at Xcel, I held the position of Regulatory Analyst for 5 years where I was responsible for the development and management of Regulatory projects. I am also a former Field Sales Engineer for Keysight Technologies and was in technical sales and support for over 21 years. My professional career was built in college, when I pursued a joint Degree Program and received a Bachelor of Science Degree in Electrical Engineering, and an MBA from the Daniels College of Business.

What key moments in your life led you to where you are today?

Treating people the way I want to be treated was something my parents always instilled in me. I think that, along with hard work, the ability to lead people to reach common goals, and my good networking/communication skills, has led me to where I am today. In addition, I am also constantly looking for ways to improve and learn through continued education and industry events/workshops.

Where does your passion to serve come from?

I come from a family that is rooted in our Faith in God. I strongly believe in the scripture Luke 12:48 which states in part, For unto whomsoever much is given, much is required. That fuels me to work hard professionally and to serve my community through volunteering, mentorship, and philanthropic efforts.

How can GlobalMindED help you reach your goals?

One of my goals is to share my story and to be an inspiration for young people, especially young women of color, who are interested in STEM fields. GlobalMindED is a great organization and a platform to do just that.

You can meet Alicia at GlobalMindED's Ten Year Anniversary even in June and learn more about her path through STEM professions and her current role at Xcel Energy.

Powerful Voices Across Generations: Past, Present, Future
Denver June 17-19

 
The 10th annual conference in Denver will gather national thought leaders across sectors including education, business, health, policy, tech, and more. If you have never been to a GlobalMindED event, you will be in for a treat, as this year will be a reunion for many of our graduates, speakers, and Inclusive Leader Award winners who have been honored throughout the years. 

The Inclusive Leader Awards, June 17, honors national leaders across 15 sectors. These generous leaders will be meeting faculty and students as they share their insights in breakout sessions during the conference. See the invitation below.

GlobalMindED is a unique experience where college and company presidents, government leaders and foundations and funders are “at the table” with students and graduates. Our attendees recognize that the voice and participation of our emerging, young leaders is the solution to climate, political divides and persistent inequities in education, employment and economic mobility. We are all the solution if we are all “at the table” as co-creaters of a future that works for all people from all backgrounds.
