Jane Van Ryan is senior communications manager and new media advisor at
the American Petroleum Institute (API). In layman's terms, she is a
jack-of-all-trades who writes blog posts, produces podcasts and videos,
and has been in the energy industry long enough to answer most of your
questions. Before coming to API, Jane managed communications for a
large science and engineering corporation, and for a top-tier research
and engineering university. A few years ago, you might have seen her in
your living room when she delivered the news on television. These days
when she's not working at API, she's working on something else--her
garden or her next book. Jane is the author of The Seduction of Miss
Evelyn Hazen, a biography. (View Jane's profile with her recent activity here.) Connect with UsLatest from YouTubeLatest from TwitterLatest from Flickr |
