CAVU is set to launch Unearthed: Exploring Oil & Gas Issues in New Mexico at the Lensic Performing Arts Center in Santa Fe on Thursday, November 16 at 7pm. Tickets are available at lensic.org for $10; hurry, they’re selling fast!

After premiering part 1 of the 10-part series, we’ll host a panel discussion with some of New Mexico’s most influential minds. The conversation will be moderated by Tara Gatewood, host of Native America Calling on KUNM. See you there!

She graduated from the American University of Paris with a Bachelor of Science in International Economics in 1999. Wanting  more global experience, Jordan moved to Istanbul, Turkey. Living with a Turkish family,  she was immersed in local culture and language. She was employed by FinansInvest, a  Turkish brokerage firm, for which she conducted quantitative analysis on the Istanbul Stock Exchange and financial reviews of listed companies.
