Department of Water and Power employee, Alicia Dickerson is a “building repairer” at the DWP facility in Downtown Los Angeles on Thursday, May 2, 2024. Each day at work, Verlene Fierro uses heavy equipment and her technical knowledge and managerial skills to ensure the safety and smooth operation of water treatment plants for the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power.“These are fields that you don’t hear about every day and that women often don’t realize are a possibility,” Fierro said.
“I don’t think being a female has limited me at all in my job, and I’ve been very fortunate in the mentorship I’ve received,” Fierro said. “It’s just that there haven’t been many to come before me.” “The department has a lot of ways for me to talk to other women, and it means a lot to me to do that,” Dickerson said. “I want to encourage other women to test the waters.”
