The hydrogen field was completely new to her, but she was drawn to the company\u2019s innovative spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Nearly Three Years and Counting<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Marissa has been with Plug since January 2022. She finds pride in working for a company that aims to make a lasting impact on the planet. \u201cWhat drew me to Plug is you can really see the long-term impacts the company can have and its trajectory,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Memorable Early Career Twist<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Soon after graduating college, Marissa joined her first company that experienced a major building fire within her first six weeks. \u201cGrowing up as a firefighter\u2019s daughter, it was the first time my personal and professional life crossed paths as my dad\u2019s department helped extinguish the fire,\u201d she recalls. Faced with leading a large insurance claim process, she realized she could handle far more than she imagined. \u201cThis really taught me there is not much I cannot handle,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Staying Flexible Amid Challenges<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>In her role, Marissa sometimes needs to pivot quickly. This can be difficult for someone who describes herself as very Type-A, but she reminds herself to look at the bigger picture. \u201cI try to focus on the end-goal and use that as motivation,\u201d she explains. This approach helps her avoid tunnel vision and stay on track, even when plans change at the last minute.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Excited About Hydrogen<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Marissa is proud to be part of a company that is moving the world toward a cleaner future. \u201cI take a lot of pride in being part of a company that will eventually have such a positive effect on the planet and lessen our dependency on fossil fuels,\u201d she says. She believes the potential for hydrogen and fuel cells is enormous.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Keep Going, Keep Growing<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For Marissa, mistakes and unexpected hurdles are opportunities to learn and grow. She holds onto the idea of \u201cKeep Going, Keep Growing.\u201d On her birthday each year, she looks back at her accomplishments and feels grateful for how far she has come. This past year, she purchased her first home. \u201cWhile it did not come without hardships, I can now look back and appreciate what it took to get here,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Home to Cherish<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Marissa and her boyfriend recently bought her grandmother\u2019s house, a beloved childhood place for her. They have been renovating everything from the carpets to the kitchen. \u201cIt has been exciting to breathe new life into a well-loved home and make it our own,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Marissa\u2019s journey reflects how persistence, a willingness to adapt, and a focus on the bigger picture can propel a person\u2019s career and personal life forward. She embodies the spirit of Plug by always finding ways to learn, grow, and contribute to a more sustainable future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marissa Eagan is a GenDrive Production Planner at Plug, serving as the key link between various departments.
