Jesse is a successful Petroleum Engineer, specializing in land reclamation, in the oil and gas sector. Since 2012, she's been running her own company, DDM Analytics, and surviving through the ups and downs of the economy. I chat with Jesse about what it's been like being a women entrepreneur among a "Big Boys Club". 

After going through a cancer diagnosis and subsequent treatments, Jesse is thankfully in remission now. She shares her journey with all the ups and downs; as well as, what she's doing now to give back and support people with cancer!
