Our entire team worked extremely hard for three years while balancing working full time. It was a great feeling to accomplish all our main goals.”
Accomplishments: Shortly after graduating with her secondary degree, began working on an exploration project in the Canadian Arctic. “Not everyone gets the opportunity to step out of their traditional role and work on something this big. I was able to stay close to my technical background and merge it with the strategy side of the business, which is an interesting development opportunity at my age and career juncture. I’ve had a lot of growth in the last year.”
On the industry’s future: “Technology is the key to long-term sustainable development for most energy resources. At ConocoPhillips, we’re focused on developing technology that is improving recovery rates, reducing environmental impacts, and of course decreasing costs.”
Goals: Further develop her skills on an international project. “I think working with a team on another major project, coupled with an international experience, would be truly amazing.”
