FIRDA’s Post

I stumbled across my original cover letter from 15 March 2017 when I first applied to Elsby 🗓 ✨ It read: "Elsby attracts me because of the smaller nature of the firm with large ambitions and the support and emphasis given to employees to become all-rounded individuals. The care for clients is as important as employees, and the focus on personal as well as professional development shows me an ambitious firm that I would be proud to be part of." ⌛ Seven years later, I am excited to say that my observations have held true. Elsby has consistently demonstrated its commitment to growth, and my career journey is great proof of that, as well as that of others around me. It’s been a remarkable journey, and I’m incredibly proud to be part of this team. 🌱 At Elsby, our core values shape our interactions with clients and guide our internal culture. One of these values, 'Investing in Growth', emphasises the importance of dedicating time, effort, and energy to achieve meaningful and rewarding outcomes. 🚀 Although these values weren't explicitly defined when I first started, Ann Phillips has played a key role in helping us develop and articulate them. I am grateful to have witnessed this value in action and the positive impact it has had. 📽️ Watch the video below if you want to hear more from me, my journey, and thoughts on Elsby! 📽️ #InvestingInGrowth #CareerJourney #ProudToBePartOfIt #ProfessionalDevelopment #ClientCare #EmployeeGrowth #Throwback #7YearsAndCounting

What's your favorite Crummer memory?   During our commencement celebrations, we asked some of our graduates their favorite memories of Crummer. For many of our Early Advantage students, they mentioned their international learning excursions. One in particular was quite popular...   See what students Isabel Martinov, MBA, Lauryn Shakes, and Enrico Camilli have to say.   #CrummerBusiness #RollinsCollege #CrummerMemories

Crüe Club isn't slowing down...and I love Oklahoma City. Yesterday, Omar Elizondo kicked off our Leadership Power Lunches with an informative and vulnerable discussion at our Oklahoma City luncheon on "Intention and Attitude in a Consolidated Market." It was an engaging session that highlighted the importance of our networks for job hunting and deal-making, the impact of our actions on others, leadership and personal accountability, and the value of intentionality. We also hosted our first SPE Student Intern / E&P Connection mixer at Jones Assembly Hall. Where we got to meet with Joseph Alvarez and Cruz McConnell from Missouri University of Science and Technology. Cruz is interning this summer at Continental Resources, and Joseph however is already an oilman about to drill his first well with his company at Cross Oil. E&P Operators: If you're not building your networks now, you may feel lost about where to start. Crue Club can help you plug into the discussions that are driving the industry.
