I am an American and started in the O&G Industry in 2007 as a Geologist. I received a BS and MS in Geology from Texas Christian University (TCU) and an MBA from Rice University. I'm also an active Board Member for the TCU Ralph Lowe Energy Institute, Neely School of Business. My career started with US Onshore operators with XTO Energy, Firewheel Energy LLC, Atlas Resource Partners, then a slight turn into Energy Investment Banking before joining the TotalEnergies team in 2017 with an acquisition of an upstream gas asset in Texas. My family, husband and three kids, arrived in Suriname in August 2023 and have enjoyed the warm welcome of energetic people, the sunny weather, and experiencing the diverse culture Suriname has to offer.
