What I'm looking for

I seek field-focused civil/geotechnical roles where I can apply surveying and site investigation skills, produce technical reports, and grow within collaborative, safety-first engineering teams.

I am a Civil Engineering graduate and registered E.I.T. with hands-on field experience in soil sampling, surveying, gravel testing, drainage and culvert assessment, and construction monitoring. I combine strong technical writing and communication with practical use of Civil 3D, AutoCAD, Trimble GPS and geotechnical analysis tools to deliver safe, buildable solutions.

I have driven municipal and land-development projects from site investigation through reporting, authored technical geotechnical reports, and presented project findings. I am adaptable, safety-focused, and committed to collaborating with contractors and engineering teams to meet specifications and improve infrastructure performance.
