Zena Disney Zena joined CVEA in 2006 as an Engineering Assistant and transitioned to the Generation Administrator role in 2010. She serves as the organizational backbone of the Generation Department and is the person turned to when tasks need to be completed quickly and efficiently. Her positive attitude, willingness to help, and dedication to supporting her coworkers make her an invaluable member of the team, and her contributions are greatly appreciated.
From Zena: I was born and raised in Alaska and lived in several places, but I have called Valdez home for the last 26 years with my husband, Donald raising our 6 children Daile, James, Emory, Isaac, Spencer, and Jace in addition to various pets. I have been fortunate to work for Copper Valley Electric’s Generation Department for the past 20 years. When I am not at work I love spending time with my family out fishing, camping, and berry picking. I’ve enjoyed cheering on all my children in all the sports and other school activities they have participated in over the many school years. Another favorite past time of mine is cooking new and different recipes. During my quieter days I enjoy watching endless episodes of Dateline which has me interested in volunteering time to organizations that help with solving cold cases in my retired years.
From Zena's Supervisor, Power Generation Manager, Steve Williams: Zena is often the person who keeps the wheels turning behind the scenes. Her hard work, attention to detail, and commitment to supporting the department allow the rest of us to focus on our operational responsibilities. She is dependable, detail-oriented, and can always lighten the mood with some well-timed sarcasm when it's needed most. Zena consistently keeps things organized and follows through on her commitments. I truly enjoy having her on my team and appreciate everything she does to support the department. I look forward to working with her for many years to come. |
