Career Pivot: Oil and Gas to Climate Ventures, & Life on an Oil Rig: Katie Dickinson
Update: 2023-08-21
Description
In this episode, I interview my Stanford GSB classmate, Katie Dickinson. Katie studied petroleum engineering in college and her first job after graduation was on an oil rig. We talk about what life is like on the rig, what it’s like being the youngest person on her team and what it’s like being a woman in a heavily male-dominated field. She shares her lightbulb moment that made her want to pivot into clean energy after working in heavy oil for years. Finally, Katie gives us insight into her application process - she applied to 6 schools- and how her fiancée Ricky keeps her grounded on campus. Let’s dive in.
