Her long career at Shell Oil Company was always fascinating, because whenever she thought up a new way of doing something, or something new to do, she was allowed to do it. She also has had a wonderful time being part of the geological professional organizations, not only being a member, but working on committees and being elected to hold office in several of them. She was appointed to several national and international committees so she got to meet many interesting people and to travel a lot, including five trips to Paris. Now she is the first woman President of the Geological Society of America, which was founded almost 103 years ago. She still enjoys her career and learns something new every day.
Earth science is everywhere.
It affects all of us and citizens should have input into governmental decision-making.
