I began working in the Oil and Gas Industry in 2010 with a focus on international immigration for Oil and Gas Clients. At first I processed work permits and mobilized UK and US nationals for projects in Africa (Angola – Congo), then Saudi Arabia, Equatorial Guinea, and Brazil and so on.
As my career progressed, I gained the knowledge that’s essential for successful US Immigration and Compliance, which has helped me in developing and managing several key clients at Petroplan.
Now my role means supporting our clients’ day-to-day operations, and candidates with mobilization and then throughout their employment with Petroplan.
Watching candidates thrive in their new positions and seeing the positive impact on both clients’ and Petroplan's operations is deeply rewarding. The positive feedback I get confirms I’ve positively influenced my candidates' careers, and contributed to my clients' success. This gives me a real sense of accomplishment.
Being well-informed is crucial for overcoming visa challenges. Preventing issues before they arise is key, so it's important to manage requirements. For example,: I pre-screen candidates and help them prepare for a successful visa interview so they know what to expect. We avoid delays and any unexpected surprises. Being proactive means contingency planning, so I’m ready for potential issues and can adapt quickly as needed.
Staying up-to-date on visa requirements and changes to U.S. immigration laws is a vital part of my role. I work closely with our excellent immigration attorneys to ensure full compliance.
Getting the visa is just part of the journey - success in my role means offering ongoing, personalized support that helps employees adjust to actually working and living in the US. With my experience I have lots of success stories to guide them through the transition, and we have many resources to make the move easier. I am always gathering feedback from both clients and employees on the relocation process – this information helps me make improvements for the next case.
There’s currently no limit to the number of times an E-2 visa can be renewed, making it a flexible option for long-term business operations.
I’m always trying to streamline the entire process which means anticipating challenges, and managing contractor and client expectations. This year I’ve enhanced the mobilization packet we give to new contractors with additional information to help them transition as painlessly as possible.
Definitely effective communication – this is the core of my approach. I focus on understanding the needs and concerns of both clients and candidates by actively listening and empathizing with their situations. I aim to understand their needs and promptly address any concerns. Then I can set clear expectations regarding timelines, processes, and potential challenges so everyone is on the same page.
It’s important to have in-depth knowledge of immigration and visa processes, so I can provide the best guidance and support, and ensure compliance.
I focus on developing and managing strong relationships that facilitate successful outcomes for everyone involved.
Every day is different. I manage each stage for every E2 visa candidate. I pre-qualify candidates for my clients, explore viable visa options available, gather associated costs and initiate the process with the client, candidate, and immigration attorney. I communicate with both my client and candidate about timelines, processes, and expectations.
In addition to my E2 visa candidates, I also manage day-to-day operations for other key accounts. There’s lots of variety.
My goals are to build upon existing relationships and support growth for Petroplan’s clients. Given our E2 Treaty Investor status at Petroplan, we have a great opportunity to support our client’s needs for specialized talent while also helping candidates achieve career success. Petroplan has candidate networks beyond the US, which gives our clients access to the global talent pool. It can take a diverse range of qualifications to stay competitive.
At the end of the day, my personal goal is to offer the best support I can to Petroplan’s clients with all of their hiring needs, both locally and globally.

The woman in this picture does not exist. She has never existed. She is simply a calculation, made by a computer, based on millions of data points. The image was built entirely by AI, and the tool is getting more sophisticated every day.
Artificial Intelligence has become an integral part of a great many industries, revolutionizing processes and operations. One significant area undergoing major transformation is recruiting. As AI takes center stage in the hiring landscape, both employers and job candidates need to understand its implications and adapt to the evolving dynamics of the recruitment process.
AI in recruiting involves the use of advanced technologies like machine learning algorithms and natural language processing to streamline and enhance various stages of the hiring process. From initial resume screening to candidate engagement and interview processes, AI offers efficiency, objectivity, and improved decision-making.
One of the primary areas where AI is making a significant impact is in automating the initial stages of candidate evaluation. Traditional resume screening processes can be time-consuming and prone to biases. AI algorithms, on the other hand, can quickly analyze vast datasets, identify relevant skills and experiences, and shortlist candidates based on predefined criteria.
However, job candidates should be mindful of optimizing their resumes for AI screening. Using industry-relevant keywords, emphasizing skills and achievements, and aligning their profiles with specific job requirements can increase the likelihood of passing through AI-driven screening processes.
AI-driven systems can efficiently match candidate profiles with job requirements, ensuring a better fit for both employers and candidates. These systems consider not only the explicit qualifications but also factors like soft skills, cultural fit, and potential for growth. For job seekers, this means that presenting a holistic view of their skills and experiences becomes crucial.
Candidates should focus on showcasing a well-rounded professional profile, highlighting not only technical skills but also interpersonal abilities, adaptability, and a commitment to continuous learning. This broader perspective enhances the chances of being matched with roles that align with their overall capabilities.
AI-powered chatbots are increasingly being used for initial candidate engagement, answering queries, and even conducting preliminary interviews. While these technologies offer convenience and speed, job candidates should be prepared for interactions with virtual interviewers.
Being comfortable with virtual interviews, maintaining clear and concise communication, and adapting to a more conversational style are essential for candidates navigating AI-driven communication tools. Additionally, understanding the specific technologies used by employers can provide a competitive advantage.
AI is being employed to assess candidates' technical and soft skills through various online platforms. These assessments often go beyond traditional methods, providing a more comprehensive understanding of a candidate's capabilities. For candidates, this underscores the importance of continuous skill development and staying abreast of industry trends.
Engaging in ongoing learning, obtaining relevant certifications, and showcasing practical applications of skills through projects and portfolios can set candidates apart in an AI-driven recruitment landscape. Proving the practical application of skills becomes as important as listing them on a resume.
AI has the potential to address bias in recruiting by making decisions based on objective criteria rather than subjective judgments. However, it's essential to recognize that AI systems are not inherently unbiased; they learn from historical data, which may carry biases. Job candidates should be vigilant about potential biases and advocate for transparent and ethical AI practices in hiring.
Candidates can also benefit from understanding how AI systems operate, being proactive in addressing biases, and promoting diversity and inclusion in their professional experiences.
Video interviews with AI analysis tools are becoming more prevalent. These tools analyze facial expressions, tone of voice, and language patterns to assess candidate suitability. Job candidates should be mindful of their virtual presence, ensuring they communicate effectively through a screen.
Practicing video interviews, maintaining eye contact with the camera, and being aware of verbal and non-verbal cues can enhance a candidate's performance in AI-integrated interviews.
As AI continues to evolve, so do job requirements. The era of lifelong learning has arrived, and candidates must adopt a growth mindset. Staying updated on industry trends, acquiring new skills, and being adaptable are crucial for sustained career success in an AI-driven job market.
Job candidates should consider continuous education, whether through formal courses, online certifications, or immersive learning experiences. Demonstrating a commitment to learning and adaptation can be a valuable asset in a landscape where technological advancements are the norm.
In an AI-driven recruiting world, candidates need to go beyond traditional resumes. Building a strong and authentic personal brand in the digital space becomes imperative. This includes maintaining a professional online presence, engaging in relevant online communities, and showcasing thought leadership.
Creating a comprehensive LinkedIn profile, participating in industry forums, and contributing to relevant discussions online can enhance a candidate's visibility. Employers increasingly use online platforms to discover and vet potential candidates, making a robust digital presence an essential part of the modern job search.
AI is reshaping the recruiting landscape, offering efficiency, objectivity, and new opportunities. For job candidates, adapting to this evolving landscape requires a proactive approach, embracing continuous learning, and leveraging technology to showcase their unique strengths.
As AI becomes more ingrained in recruiting processes, a collaborative effort between candidates and employers is essential. Transparency, ethical AI practices, and a commitment to creating a fair and inclusive hiring environment will be crucial in shaping the future of recruitment. In navigating this AI-driven landscape, job candidates who embrace technology while maintaining their authenticity and commitment to growth will stand out in the competitive job market of the future.

LNG is natural gas that has been cooled to the point of liquefaction, transforming it into a clear, colorless, and non-toxic liquid. This process reduces the volume of the gas significantly, making it easier and more cost-effective to transport and store. The liquefaction process involves cooling natural gas to around -260°F (-162°C), converting it into a liquid state. This transformation not only reduces the volume by about 600 times but also makes it more suitable for long-distance transportation, primarily through specially designed LNG carriers.
The U.S. has witnessed a substantial surge in LNG projects, driven by various factors, including the shale gas revolution, global demand for cleaner energy sources, and advancements in liquefaction technology. The shale gas revolution, particularly in regions like the Permian Basin and the Marcellus Shale, has unlocked vast reserves of natural gas, making the U.S. a major player in the LNG market. The growth of LNG export terminals along the Gulf Coast, such as the Sabine Pass LNG Terminal in Louisiana and the Corpus Christi LNG Terminal in Texas, highlights the nation's commitment to leveraging its natural gas abundance for economic gains. These terminals serve as crucial hubs for liquefying and exporting natural gas to international markets, contributing significantly to the U.S. energy landscape. Key Players and Projects Several prominent players have spearheaded LNG projects, solidifying the U.S. as a major LNG exporter. Cheniere Energy, with its Sabine Pass and Corpus Christi LNG terminals, has been at the forefront of this transformation. Other players like Dominion Energy Cove Point LNG, Freeport LNG, and Cameron LNG have also played pivotal roles in expanding the country's LNG export capacity. The sheer scale of these projects is noteworthy. For instance, the Sabine Pass LNG Terminal has the capacity to produce over 30 million tonnes of LNG per year, making it one of the largest facilities of its kind globally. These projects not only contribute to domestic economic growth but also enhance the global energy trade landscape.
The LNG boom in the U.S. has brought about a wave of economic benefits. These projects contribute significantly to job creation, both directly and indirectly. The construction and operation of LNG export terminals require a skilled workforce, ranging from engineers and technicians to logistics and administrative professionals. Additionally, the growth of associated industries, such as natural gas production, transportation, and equipment manufacturing, amplifies the positive economic impact.
As the U.S. emerges as a major LNG exporter, it enhances its role in global energy security and diplomacy. LNG is a versatile energy source that can be used for power generation, heating, and as a feedstock for various industrial processes. By exporting LNG to nations seeking diverse and reliable energy sources, the U.S. strengthens diplomatic ties and plays a strategic role in supporting the energy needs of its allies.
While LNG is often considered a cleaner-burning fuel compared to traditional hydrocarbons, there are environmental considerations. The extraction and production of natural gas, as well as the transportation of LNG, have environmental impacts that must be carefully managed. Balancing economic benefits with environmental stewardship is crucial to ensuring a sustainable and responsible approach to LNG development.
In conclusion, LNG has become a linchpin in the U.S. energy strategy, offering economic benefits, job creation, and a substantial role in global energy dynamics. The growth of LNG projects along the Gulf Coast reflects the nation's commitment to leveraging its natural gas resources for domestic and international gains. As the U.S. continues to navigate its energy future, LNG stands as a cornerstone, contributing to economic prosperity, energy security, and strategic diplomacy on the world stage.

Balancing economic benefits with environmental stewardship is crucial to ensuring a sustainable and responsible approach to LNG development.
In conclusion, LNG has become a linchpin in the U.S. energy strategy, offering economic benefits, job creation, and a substantial role in global energy dynamics. The growth of LNG projects along the Gulf Coast reflects the nation's commitment to leveraging its natural gas resources for domestic and international gains. As the U.S. continues to navigate its energy future, LNG stands as a cornerstone, contributing to economic prosperity, energy security, and strategic diplomacy on the world stage.
