The Faces of Zion: Q&A with Shelley Jernigan
Shelley Jernigan – Accounts Payable Specialist
Q: Tell us about your role for Zion Oil
A: I guess you can say I am a woman of many hats. As Accounts Payable Specialist, I am here to assist our accounting department with daily processes. I also help answer phone calls, web chats and send out packets to those that request them from our website or over the phone.
Q: How has John Brown’s leadership impacted you?
A: John’s positive energy and commitment to Zion Oil & Gas is so encouraging. Stories he has shared about his life and his passion for Zion give me hope, not only in the work environment but on a personal level as well. His dedication to this company is truly an inspiration.
Q: What do you enjoy about working at Zion?
A: I love a lot of things about my job. I enjoy working in different areas because that helps me grow within our company. I work with amazing people and am blessed that God brought me here 4 years ago. I enjoy conversations with our investors. I think we keep positive energy around the office and that makes for a great company to work for.
Q: What brought you to Zion Oil?
A: I worked for a real estate company for 9 years prior and the company was being bought out so I was soon to be out of a job. I went on several different interviews but none of them felt like the right place for me. I had been praying about it when I came in contact with someone who mentioned Zion Oil. I came in for an interview, and met everyone in the office. They were so welcoming and pleasant. I knew in my heart this was the place for me.
Q: How do you feel about Zion’s Vision?
A: Zion’s vision is rare. People have asked why do we drill in Israel? You can drill in Texas and be a successful company. It’s not an easy ride. We have had some bumps in the road but everyone wants the same thing — to bless Israel. I believe Zion has been tested but our faith is much stronger because of it. I’m so glad I can be a part of something so special.
