Additional assignments included working at the White House supporting the Bush-Cheney
Energy Policy Task Force as part of the Energy Policy Development Group –under President
George W. Bush; U.S. Coordinator for Natural Gas in the Western Hemisphere – Western
Hemispheric Energy Initiative under President Bill Clinton; National Commission on the BP
Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and Offshore Drilling under President Barack Obama; and
Transforming Produced Water from a Waste to a Resource - Water Security Grand Challenge
under President Trump. She authored Chapter 2 of the textbook titled Solid-Liquid Separation
Technologies: Application for Produced Water, CRC Press/Taylor & Francis, which was released
April 18, 2022 and is available from Amazon. She has presented on various topics and
published papers at various SPE Offshore Technology Conference, Unconventional Resources
Technology Conference, and Annual Technology Conference and Exhibition.
She completed the course of studies at the Federal Executive Institute, Charlottesville, VA;
Executive Certificate in International Studies at Georgetown University, Washington, DC;
