Q & A with Omar
Please tell us more about your current position.
As director of engineering and technical sales at Good Faith Energy, I lead two diverse teams of engineers and account executives. On the engineering front, I oversee the drafting of electrical designs for renewable energy systems. Within technical sales, I support residential and commercial business development teams through site demand forecasting and performance modeling, analyze electric rate design, and provide energy management recommendations.
Please tell us more about your Archer Fellowship Program internship.
As an Archer Fellow, I interned with the Democratic staff of the U.S. Senate Committee on Energy and Natural Resources. I provided policy staff with industry research support, including investigating the sourcing of rare earth minerals commonly used in low-carbon technologies from a supply chain and security perspective. I also supported briefings and hearings through background research and memo drafting.
What has been your general career path?
After graduating from UT Dallas with a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering, I took on a design role with a renewables integrator in Dallas, Texas. After learning the ins and outs of residential and commercial distributed generation, I took a break from my design role to work for the White House Infrastructure Implementation Team. After a productive and insightful time with the White House, I returned to Dallas to continue my work in the renewables industry.
How has your experience as an Archer Fellow influenced your career path and goals?
As an undergraduate student majoring in mechanical engineering, the Archer Fellowship was my first true experience in the world of policy and government. It broadened my perspective greatly in terms of possible careers and the avenues to get involved politically. The Archer Fellowship led to me interning at the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission as well as taking leave from my current job to work at the White House for the Infrastructure Implementation Team. While I currently work in a more technical role in the clean energy space, I am sure I will return to policy work in the future.
What did you value the most about your Archer Fellowship Program experience?
I value the connections and lifelong friendships I made through interning, class, and fellowship.
What do you value the most about being an alumnus?
I deeply value having access to Archer Fellows' diverse and rich alumni network. I greatly appreciate knowing that I can benefit from and add to this network of smart, talented, and public service-driven individuals.
What is your favorite memory as an Archer Fellow?
My favorite memory from the Fellowship was attending a play at Ford's Theatre with Dr. Swerdlow and engaging in deep conversation about the state of politics on our way back from the theatre to the White House.
