In Canada And Abroad

Attained first-hand field experience in geophysical exploration along with survey and field crew management, geophysical survey layouts, related geological implications, and decision making and leadership qualities under extreme conditions. In addition, I have attained international work experience and I have demonstrated that I am highly competent in working in remote and exposed locations while maintaining effective teamwork and collaboration skills with a wide range of people. I have also shown strong teamwork skills and learned how to manage, motivate and collaborate with international field crews with minimal English experience.Responsibilities also include formatting, preparing, installing, and maintaining geophysical equipment and recorders; perform test and calibration events, and analyse data to locate possible discrepancies and perform QA/QC.
