About Candace

Undergrad and graduate civil engineering. I have over 12 years of experience in downstream oil and gas refining and petchems. I currently work in bp's gas and power trading organization. Recently I transitioned from managing HSSE exposure risk when our traders and marketers physically move product to being a senior analyst on our natural gas liquids origination team. I am passionately obsessed with my 10 year old rescue dog Lola. Love love love to travel. Some of my favorite trips were to see the polar bears in Churchill, island hop in the Galapagos, and go coasteering in Guernsey. Love rock climbing and hiking. Spend most of my time at work but love what I do.
