Could you provide a brief overview of your journey in the energy industry that led to your current role? What are some key achievements or milestones that you are particularly proud of?

My journey through the industry has been long and interesting, and one that I can say was destined to happen. I always had a desire to work in the industry, but I had to figure out a way to get in and make a difference. My path has been unique and self-carved, driven largely by God, relationships, my unrelenting desire for success, and my commitment to excellence in service delivery.

The energy industry is known for its complexities. What were some significant challenges you faced along the way, and how did you navigate through them to achieve your goals?

It is not news that the industry is male-dominated and has been since inception. The biggest challenge I have faced is finding my way and place as a woman in the industry while holding on to my core values and proving my competence in service delivery.
