Today’s spotlight: Nina Mullins

Title: Senior director of land and Papago Park Center, Salt River Project

Background: Mullins is a senior leader at SRP, the third-largest public, nonprofit power utility in the country. SRP’s Land Department provides real estate services to ensure the delivery of reliable, low-cost water and power.

Best decision: “After earning my bachelor’s degree, I wanted a new career that would push me to the limits. I applied for a relay technician apprenticeship, which is a male-dominated arena that took me out of my comfort zone. I became the first female relay tech in SRP history and even graduated as ‘Apprentice of the Year.’”
