Behind the Hard Hat: Many Stories as a Female Petroleum Engineer …
There’s something about the long roads and the quiet stillness of the desert that reflects what’s inside me. Between the sand and the sound of engines, I found myself in a place like no other — not just as a woman in a male-dominated field, but as someone discovering strength in every step beyond expectation.
Working on-site is not just about a hard hat and safety boots. It’s about early mornings under an open sky, split-second decisions in remote zones, and trusting both instinct and experience. It’s a heavy responsibility, but also a deep sense of purpose.
