New Line Life Podcast: Faces of the Future Featuring Lexie Bryant
Jan. 17, 2025
Lexie Bryant, one of the past winners of an International Lineman's Rodeo Association scholarship, is now training to be a lineworker at OPPD.
As we continue airing new Faces of the Future podcast episodes in 2025, we are kicking off the New Year with an episode highlighting Lexie Bryant, apprentice lineworker for Omaha Public Power District (OPPD). Five years ago, she won the International Lineman's Rodeo Association's Jim Hamilton Scholarship, which was sponsored by Pacific Gas & Electric.
Today, she works as an apprentice lineworker for OPPD, and she is learning the skills of the line trade. During the interview, she shares how her career plans changed from pursuing a career as a lawyer to a lineworker, and how being in the line trade was the best decision she's ever made. To learn more about Lexie, look for her profile in the February 2025 print issue of T&D World magazine and on our website.
If you have an apprentice lineworker you'd like to nominate for a future department and podcast episode, please email us at [email protected]. We'd love to hear from you.
