Presenter is Sharon Wilson, a senior organizer at the EarthWorks Oil & Gas Accountability Project.

Sharon is a leading citizen expert in the Texas Barnett Shale, and a top "go-to" person for information. She's been sought out by top EPA officials, national news networks, and national environmental organizations for information and assistance.

A Texas native, Sharon was born and grew up in Fort Worth, where, as she describes it .. "she grew up hauling hay, fixing fence, riding the tractor with her grandfather, and slipped away whenever she could to ride whichever horse got close enough to catch."   She worked for 12 years in the oil and gas industry, where she witnessed first-hand the environmental and public health impacts associated with the industry. She has briefed NATO Parliamentary Assembly, EPA regulators and even former Administrator Gina McCarthy on the impacts of oil and gas extraction.

In 2014, Sharon became a certified optical gas imaging thermographer and now travels across the U.S. making visible the invisible methane pollution from oil and gas facilities.
