About

I am a Mining Engineering student at the University of British Columbia with practical experience in underground operations, construction, and safety-critical work environments. Passionate about applying engineering principles to solve real-world challenges. I am committed to continuous learning and contributing to the mining industry with a strong focus on safety, innovation, and sustainability. As a former student-athlete at Thompson Rivers University, I developed discipline, resilience, and time-management skills that now enhance both my studies and professional growth. Feel free to connect if you're looking for a passionate and motivated future mining engineer eager to make an impact in the industry!
