What I'm looking for

I seek roles where I can apply geotechnical and exploration expertise to improve mine safety and operations, collaborate with engineers, and grow in technical leadership.

I am a Geologist-in-Training with hands-on experience advising mine operations, planners, and stakeholders in oil sands and hard-rock exploration. My background combines a B.Sc. in Geological and Earth Sciences with a minor in Business, informing both technical and commercial perspectives.

At Terracon Geotechnique Ltd. I perform daily highwall assessments, coordinate with engineers, and ensure compliance with pitwall parameters and OH&S code, contributing directly to operational safety and project decision-making.

I have exploration experience across projects including Athabasca Oil Sands, Red Top copper porphyry, and Golden Triangle VMS and shear-vein deposits, with skills in core logging, RQD, magnetic susceptibility, and digital elevation surveying.

I am proficient with industry software and instrumentation such as Petrel, Minescape, MicroStation, Leapfrog, Olympus handheld XRF, vibrating-wire piezometers, and slope inclinometer datasets, and I foster strong client relationships while driving practical geoscience solutions.
