Todd Pfeil, an instructor of the Utility Line Courses and an alumnus from the program, shares the story of the 36-year-old mother of four and the only woman in her class of 48 future utility lineworkers.
The episode, which is part of our ICYMI series, is narrated from Todd's story, "Training on the Line" in our February 2025 field-focused Electric Utility Operations section in T&D World magazine.
