Deanna Gilliam Email and Phone Number

Deanna Gilliam is a Sustainability strategy and reporting at ConocoPhillips. Colleagues describe them as "I worked alongside Deanna for two years during her time as editor-in-chief of the Journal of Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Excellence (JUR Press). She was an excellent leader: never a micro-manager, she was always supportive and trusting of those she worked with and respected new ideas and differing opinions. Not only was she a stellar editor-in-chief, she communicated directly and effectively across national borders and organized team-building exercises for the editing and operations teams. Deanna made working at JUR Press a welcoming and fruitful experience and inspired those around her to do more, think harder, and be creative. Having seen firsthand the high-quality work Deanna can do, I feel more than comfortable recommending her as a passionate, self-motivated individual who would make a fantastic leader of any team." and "Deanna Cox was the editor-in-chief at the Journal of Undergraduate Research and Scholarly Excellence when I joined in February 2014. She is an excellent leader with a number of wonderful qualities. She is a highly effective communicator both verbally and in writing, and she is reliable, punctual, and dedicated. As a leader, she is always clear about her expectations, knows when to push and when to back off, and is quick to praise a job well done. She looks at you when you speak to let you know you have her full attention and is always respectful in her interpersonal interactions. On top of having her own great ideas, she is always open to discuss other people’s ideas. In addition to her numerous duties as the leader of JUR, she was also on the water polo team, played in a harp ensemble, worked in a lab, and was involved in other extracurricular activities on top of the regular coursework for her classes. She obviously knows how to manage her time effectively; more notable is that she was probably stressed out a lot, but she never let it show, affect the way she treated people, or get in the way of performing at a consistently high level. Deanna is an exceptional person and would be a tremendous asset to any team."
