Professional bio

I am a geotechnical engineer, geologist and mining engineer with expertise in open cut and underground mining operations as well as exploration activities.

Working first as a field technician in 2011 and then returning as a geologist in 2014 for the same company and progressing to mine based roles have given me a ‘ground up’ understanding of how resource development projects and mines operate. I pride myself on my professionalism, performance, commitment to safety and strong stakeholder engagement.

All this enables me to deliver quality outcomes with time critical tollgates on challenging projects. With experience in high pressure, isolated environments with limited technical support across multiple sites, I have developed a strong work ethic and ability to adapt quickly and establish myself within a new team. My core analytical skills are complimented by a self-motivated work ethic focused on being efficient, precise, accurate and a team player.

Moreover, I have achieved a Masters of Mining Engineering (Mine Geomechanics) at UNSW that was Awarded with Excellence (High Distinction average) while continuing to work a site based full time role. I have achieved Chartered Professional Engineer (Geotechnical) with the AusIMM. I am also working towards a PhD at Curtin University's Western Australia School of Mines applying machine learning to mining data.
