Summary

I am a confident, hardworking person who is proud of my job. I perform well both independently and in groups. I consider myself to be a problem solver who is able to easily adjust to various conditions and work well under pressure. I enjoy expanding my knowledge, especially in the fields of geology and engineering, and I will benefit any organization with my eagerness to learn. I am an Honours graduate in BSc Environmental Geology, currently doing geotechnical investigations and analyzing geotechnical data sets after the investigations are conducted. I am a traveler, and I have seen many parts of the world and met different people from different cultures, and this opportunity gave me a more informed view of the world and how different people approach scenarios. I adapt easily to different situations, and I regard myself as a problem solver. I enjoy broadening my knowledge of different subjects, even though some might not be part of my field of study. Resourceful professional in geological sciences, known for high productivity and efficient task completion. Skilled in data analysis, mineral identification, core logging, different exploration methods, and geospatial mapping techniques. Excels with critical thinking, problem-solving, and teamwork, ensuring success in diverse projects.
