Meet Manius

“I joined Eversource in the hopes to grow and become more than what’s expected. To challenge myself in an environment, work family oriented, and most importantly an accounting method that took me out of my comfort zone. To grow, better yet define who I will be, and this has streamed my ambition to explore and introduce my skillsets to become an asset to the company. I am me, I am different in all aspects, I will continue to learn and grow. Most importantly I will push for change, more modern development to catchup to the forever changing era. I am Manius, l Staff Accountant in Plant Accounting and a Co-Lead to the Multicultural BRG, my head held high with respect to everyone.”

Kara, Manager of Financial
Planning & Budgets

Meet Kara

“I joined Eversource 11 years ago as an intern in the Accounting division and then full time after graduating from Roger Williams University with a degree in Accounting. It was an easy decision to work here because I felt the culture was a perfect fit for me. Eversource puts its customers and employees first and I find there is a great work life balance here.
In my current role as Manager of Financial Planning & Budgets, I support multiple organizations to help them achieve their business objectives, strategic initiatives, and remain on track with their budget goals. While doing so, I learn a lot about different organizations and get to work with a diverse group of individuals. There is so much to learn about Eversource and the Utility industry and I continue to be challenged and learn something new every day.”
