Introduction – Amy Marrero

My name is Amy Marrero and I am a junior working towards a Bachelor in Energy and Sustainability Policy through Penn State World Campus. I grew up in a very small town in Wisconsin, where the total population was (when I lived there) 2,010 people. I left Wisconsin to enlist in the military and have lived in several different states since. I now reside in close to Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania with my two daughters. I currently work in the energy industry, however, I desire to find a job in the green energy business field. I am very interested in wind energy and hydro, and I would like to help make them a part of our energy grid on a large scale. This course is a requirement for my major and I believe that in the course I might gather information about how to go off on my own to establish an entrepreneurship in green energy.

Coming straight from the military to a civilian job in the energy industry, I have never had the time or money to start my own business. When I was young I babysat several people’s children, and I even advertised my services to get more customers. I would not consider this an entrepreneurship, however because it was only myself making money so that I could pay for my old cellphone. My desire to promote green and renewable energy sources could be a major asset in starting an entrepreneurship. I would enjoy starting my own business that helps people to install wind turbines at the own home, helps them get funding, and perform studies and follow-up on the status of their energy use. A business that helped people ease into a different form of renewable energy would have a major impact on the renewable energy industry.

  1. Hi Amy! My name is Kaity and I’m a fellow ESP major. Where is your favorite place you have lived? I have done a lot of traveling, but not much in the U.S. so I’m just now starting to make my way across the states. You said you work in the energy industry now. What is it that you do? If you don’t mind me asking.

    • My favorite place I have lived is where I grew up: in Wisconsin. I just enjoy the quite there, after living in city like DC.
      I don’t mind you asking, I work at a nuclear power plant currently.

  2. Hi Amy, my name is Cindy and I’m also a part of the Energy and Sustainability Policy degree. I live in Harrisburg, which isn’t very far from you in Bloomsburg! Have you ever been to the Bloomsburg Fair? It’s a pretty nice fair and my agency (USDA Farm Service Agency) sets up an exhibit there each year. I heard ZZ Top will be performing there this year! I won’t be able to make it this time, but you should check it out if you can!

    • That is very interesting, about your agency. I’ve probably been to the exhibit. Actually this year I will not be going to the fair, I have other plans, but I will tell my friend that ZZ Top is performing.
      Thanks!
