   Currently oversee all aspects of internal and external communications for Chevron in the Gulf of America. This includes developing strategy for local and national media outreach and advertising of our social investments with proven results, as well as crafting holding statements and handling media inquiries on a variety of topics. I also write everything from monthly emails to long-form keynote addresses for our senior-level executives and prepare them with media training for engagements. Certified in Helicopter Underwater Escape Training (HUET), I have extensive experience in the energy industry and producing offshore media like a virtual reality experience on our largest Gulf platform, Jack St. Malo. Most significantly, I’ve managed remote and on-location crisis response, developing strategy, holding statements and key messages under tight timeframes.
