An antiquated perception of the sector overshadows our society's fierce reliance on mining. My grandmother worked for Anadarko and was a Desk and Derrick Club member. Communicating about the extraction industry is in my roots. The world has changed significantly since my Mimi was present. Mining's progress will soar if we all holistically understand and fully participate in the industry. I use transparent communication methods and prioritizes public education. My varied background in digital marketing and communications supports my roles throughout the sector, including Director of Marketing and Business Development at DataCloud and Director of Communications at Mining2Me.
