Currently, she manages high-level projects for oil and gas clients including acquisitions and divestitures, liability assessments, asset retirement calculations, as well as SiteView® implementation and training. Kelly’s experience includes coordination and management of multiple oil and gas portfolios, mentoring, and senior review of company documents and reports. Kelly has managed a number of complex environmental projects involving challenging stakeholders and multiple levels of government.
