At first Elaine wanted to be an artist, then she went to college for political science. After that, she explored nursing. Eventually she found a way to apply her creativity and love of learning to computer science.
Meet Elaine, one of the People Who Power New York.
She joined the NYISO in 2004 as a Continuous Improvement Advisor. The position required creative problem-solving, which appealed to her artistic side. Since then, her career here flourished and led her to a role as Manager of IT Operations and Service Management. “There’s a lot riding on the services my teams provide,” she says. “Technology is ever-changing.”
Elaine is ever-changing as well, and that is one of the things that she finds fulfilling about how she has been able to evolve her career at the NYISO. Recently, she accepted a new position as the first female Manager of Security Governance, where she is responsible for overseeing NYISO’s Critical Infrastructure Protection and Security Programs.
