Geology is a multifaceted subject that combined my love for all sciences, while also drawing on my strength as a creative thinker. A career as a geologist within the mining industry was also very appealing because I had the opportunity to not only work outside, but in other countries as well.
I have continued to work in the mining industry because one of the most rewarding aspects of this career is that it can be an occupation that can grow and change with you. I have been fortunate to gain valuable experience in different roles within different parts of the industry, and ultimately find and establish a position that drives my passion and motivation.
As someone who works for a technology company, my job is to help deliver and support efficiency focused solutions to the mining industry across all sectors. I love facing new challenges every day that require me to use quick critical thinking in order to provide great service to our clients' needs. The mining industry is always evolving, so our solutions to problems have to evolve as well. My job allows me to stay curious and continually grow in the face of new challenges. There is always something new to learn, and new problems to solve.
I am grateful to have found a place within the industry that has drawn upon my experience while allowing me to maximize my strengths and work to the best of my capabilities.
The mining industry has provided me with countless opportunities and experiences to engage with amazing people, become an active member of a meaningful community, develop cross functional skills and knowledge, and experience travel and adventure opportunities throughout the world.
I also love that our industry is very team-driven, and that we operate in a way that puts collective goals ahead of individual glory. It is a very collaborative environment, and it is extremely motivating and rewarding to see how everyone within this industry can affect positive change.
