General Counsel and Corporate Secretary since 2019. She's been a
part of the diversified energy company for over 12 years, starting
as Counsel at HollyFrontier Corporation (HollyFrontier) and Holly

Transportation Company, and the formation of HF Sinclair as the new
publicly traded parent of HollyFrontier and HEP, in 2022, and in HF
Sinclair's buy-in of HEP in 2023.
