❖ I am a senior consultant at FORVIS who mobilizes qualitative and quantitative data to answer complex socio-environmental questions and concerns for clients. ❖ WHY I DO WHAT I DO: Energy and sustainability concerns are central to nearly any industry. As such, industry leaders might need assistance navigating the impacts of climate change, energy transitions, dramatic social change, and many other 21st century opportunities and challenges that companies are facing. For much of my professional life, I have been investigating the social, environmental, and governance (ESG) conditions that facilitate oil and gas production. I enjoy leveraging that investigative approach to understanding, analyzing, and communicating how clients can identify, mitigate, or take advantage of emergent sustainability risks and opportunities. ❖ PUBLICATIONS➤ Newspaper Op-Eds: San Antonio Express-News, Houston Chronicle, Live Oak County Progress ➤ Industry Paper: SMU Texas-Mexico Center — “What Happened to Mexico’s Burgos Shale?
