Joined Apache in July 2006 as manager for government affairs. Moved to investor relations in October 2011. Enjoys
Apache’s corporate culture after working in Washington, D.C., as a senior policy advisor for the Department of Energy’s Office of the Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy. Apache has “a real strong reputation as an efficient operator, a com- pany that’s known for really getting after it. The people work really hard.”
Believes energy “is the backbone. It is the most interesting and exciting industry there is. Whether you work on the clean-tech side of things, or the renewables side of things, or you work on the more traditional oil and gas side of things, it’s certainly not an industry that’s going anywhere. There is some job security as well. I think there’s a lot of long-term opportunity.”
Accomplishments: In 2011, earned two master’s degrees—one in energy and earth resources, and one in public affairs—from the University of Texas-Austin. Wrote her thesis on natural gas as a transportation fuel. Included in the thesis is the journal she kept—and the conclusions she drew—from a 10-day road trip, from Austin to Boston, in a natural-gas-powered vehicle. Was interviewed about the trip for Scientific American’s blog in 2011.
As senior policy advisor for the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Fossil Energy, coordinated its participation in Department of Energy projects. Worked on bilateral energy agreements with Australia, Canada and China.
Advice on career paths: Be flexible—“You never know where your career could take you.”
Goals: “To be constantly improving myself and my understanding.”
