Jessica Yanosik - Director Corporate Planning & Strategy at ConocoPhillips

EDUCATION:  Cypress Creek High School - 2001 University of Texas at Austin, BS in Chemical Engineering

My favorite college memory was that it was great to get some industry exposure through organizations, professors and major sequence courses. It helped me learn the opportunities available and figure out where I wanted to start my career. I've had the opportunity to work abroad, travel and work on a lot of interesting projects. The SPE-GCS scholarship helped me fund my education and ultimately finish college with less debt. It also helped me to start building my network. My advice to students is that it’s never too early to start building your network. Take advantage of clubs and organizations like SPE to learn more about different career choices and what is happening in the industry. Contact me at Jessica.A.Yanosik@cop.com.
