What I'm looking for

I seek field-focused exploration roles where I can apply modelling and drilling expertise, contribute to sustainable resource development, and grow into technical leadership.

I am a BSc (Hons) Geology graduate and registered Cand.Sci.Nat professional with hands-on experience in exploration geology, ore-body modelling, and geotechnical investigations. I currently work as a Junior Geologist at Sentle Resources, using QGIS, ArcGIS, Leapfrog Geo and field techniques to produce prospecting maps, conduct drilling programs, and synthesize sample data for initial resource models.

I have contributed to mapping, RC and diamond core drilling, core sampling, slope stability assessments, and community engagement while coordinating heavy equipment and ensuring safety and environmental compliance. I bring practical field leadership, technical reporting skills, and a focus on optimizing resource utilization and sustainable exploration practices.
