What is your current role at Shell? |
|
| My current role for Shell is to provide financial support and advice for exploration, development and business technology. I answer questions about various transactions, attend meetings with groups that I support, check budgets, make sure actuals are in line with expectations, address financial issues and put together plans for correction if any discrepancies are found.

|
What do you like best about your role? |
|
| I like the challenge – my role is extremely challenging and thought provoking. I never know what issues I might have to address. I might formulate a plan for setting accounting and budget guidelines for projects, or determine how a project fits with financial objectives. I have to learn to speak the language of my customers. It’s certainly not repetitive!

Tell us about your background and experience |
|
| I have had various accounting and finance experiences all within Shell Exploration and Production. I came to Shell straight out of college after interning at Shell Chemical the summer before graduation. I started out as an entry-level accountant and moved through various positions including senior accountant, analyst and now senior financial representative. I have been able to bring what I have learned in previous assignments to my next – it’s been a tremendous learning opportunity and has allowed me to develop my area of expertise.
