Ms. Jasmine Gilliam is a nominee for a Professional Achievement Award at the Women of Color STEM Conference. She is a physical security inspector for Region III at the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC).
Gilliam joined the NRC Region III Office in 2007 after graduating from Tuskegee University with a Bachelor of Science degree in electrical engineering.
Her knowledge and effectiveness were recognized by managers in multiple technical areas. As a result, they frequently requested her participation in inspections. Her work ethic enabled her to receive two temporary promotions to senior reactor engineer at a time when few such opportunities were available.
“In the nuclear industry, which historically has been limited in gender and racial diversity, Ms. Gilliam demonstrates to others both within our agency and outside our organization that women of color can achieve tremendously positive accomplishments in their careers and for the benefit of the American public,” said Darrell J. Roberts, deputy executive director for Materials, Waste Research, State, Tribal, Compliance
A champion of diversity, she has served as co-chair of the Diversity Management Advisory Committee (DMAC). The DMAC strives to help the NRC create and support a positive work environment that enables employees to use their diverse talents to achieve the agency’s mission.
Please register no later than August 31 for the 2020 Women of Color STEM Conference.
