About Me - Clinton Hooper

I am Supervisor of Maintenance Training at Entergy's River Bend Station. I am a US Navy veteran and have been in the field of learning and development for 15 years. 

During my 12 years of service I wore many hats, as one tends to do in the military. I was a maintenance technician, a reactor operator and team supervisor but my last and favorite role was as a Nuclear Field “A” School (NFAS) technical instructor. As an instructor, I taught basic electrical theory and instrumentation and controls equipment maintenance. Throughout the three years when I taught at NFAS I had a direct hand in developing hundreds of future naval reactor operators and maintenance technicians, and this is where I caught the “bug” of passing on my knowledge to the next generation.

I have been blessed since leaving military service in that I was able to find employment doing what I love at River Bend Station as a senior technical instructor and training supervisor since 2013.  During this time, I have grown a keen sense of ownership when it comes to the quality and effectiveness of the training materials which I have a hand in designing and developing.

Among the many things that I am driven about in my field is the effective utilization of technology in the classroom and the professional development of myself and my team. Towards this goal, I am pursuing my Master of Arts in Educational Technology at Louisiana State University.
