What I'm looking for

I’m looking for roles where I can apply geotechnical and soil knowledge to design and build safer, sustainable infrastructure. I want hands-on engineering responsibility, strong mentorship, and opportunities to grow through rigorous technical and research work.

I’m a geology and mineral science graduate with a strong passion for applying geological principles to civil engineering—especially geotechnical analysis and soil-related challenges. Through my research, teaching support, and engineering internships, I’ve built strong analytical and problem-solving habits, turning theoretical concepts into practical solutions for foundation and infrastructure work.

Most recently, I serve as an Assistant Manager, supervising daily operations, coordinating schedules and procurement, and producing data-driven management reports. I’m now seeking to deepen my expertise through advanced study that integrates geotechnical analysis, structural design, and environmental sustainability.
