What I'm looking for

I’m committed to continuing to learn and improve my skills and expertise, contributing to growth and operational excellence in the geological industry. I thrive in efficient, quality-focused environments.

At Ghana Geological Survey Authority, I assisted with investigations of buildings around Weija following minor earth tremors and active tectonic activities. I also conducted sieve analyses on soil samples from fieldwork and student projects.

I supported geotechnical investigations by assisting with Dynamic cone penetration tests and preparing geotechnical reports. At Architectural and Engineering Services Limited (AESL), I conducted concrete block compressive strength tests and assisted with steel strength testing.

My geological engineering studies at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) included a project assessing the hydrocarbon potential and thermal maturity of source rocks in the Tano sedimentary basin. I have also worked with geological data and mapping tools, including ArcGIS, MapInfo, IBM SPSS, and Surfer.
