Paula assists with all of the section's administrative functions, including correspondence and record keeping. She also manages the remote disconnect program and database for reporting, maintains weekly and monthly reports, dispatches field activities, and works closely with Customer Service and Billing on any meter-related issues. Before joining the Meter Section in 2006, Paula also worked for Station One as well as Stores. In addition, Paula served on the core team that helped set up the day-to-day activities (like installations and field activities) for the MWM and CC&B systems. She works regularly with these systems not just with daily work, but in assisting with upgrade testing and overall system maintenance. “I do a lot of trouble shooting and problem solving, and really enjoy that part of my job,” said Paula. “I’ve learned a lot at GUC by working in various roles, and continue learning every day. The people here are like family to me, and I love working with employees from all departments.”
