• Conducted weekly surveys mine-wide to ensure regulatory compliance of underground ventilation network.• Updated the Life-of-Mine ventilation plan to account for physical design changes and added detail regarding individual mine levels/zones. Generated using Howden Ventsim Design software.• Developed engineered blast letters which provided optimal configurations of the underground vent network to ensure minimal time required to clear workings of contaminants after blasting prior to personnel re-entry. • Borden runs on a ventilation-on-demand system managed by central control. Frequently liaised with dispatch in capacities including calibrations, troubleshooting, etc.• Oversaw procurement of permanent and temporary ventilation infrastructure in accordance with mid and long-term mining plans.• Provided input to mid-term conceptual meetings to review planned ventilation strategies with broader technical services team months in advance of the execution-level design.• Attended operations morning huddles and gave crew presentations on a variety of topics (general overview of vent network for new employees, lock-out/tag-out, etc.).• Supported ventilation-related initiatives through Newmont’s Full Potential continuous improvement program.

Worked on a greenfields exploration project in the Elk Valley, British Columbia. My major project involved the modelling and comparison of potential operating scenarios on a number of bases including, but not limited to:- Financial merit (via a dynamic model with enhanced workflow autonomy using Excel and VBA)- Terrestrial ecosystem disturbance- Greenhouse gas emissions attributed to haul trucks- Traditional mining KPI's (truck hours, material movement, strip ratio etc.)I developed an interactive data platform using Power BI to connect numerous streams of data and provide the end user with an intuitive tool capable of projecting overall project risk with more granularity than was achievable through traditional scenario analysis. I presented my work to a number of groups, including:- Site-based Mid-range and Long-range engineering teams- Teck Coal Business planning group- Teck Resources Climate Change and Sustainability Manager- Teck Resources XPAC Solutions Conference, hosted by RPM GlobalOther roles and responsibilities throughout my term included:- Contract and Contractor Management- Development of project-specific and site-wide platforms for tracking of contractor hours (Excel and VBA)- Technical writing assignments ranging from handoff memos to content supporting broader documents subject to review and sign-off by the CEO and other senior executives.

Montreal, Quebec, Canada

My term involved Monitored While Drilling (MWD) data analysis in addition to administrative support (meeting minutes, memos, etc.) for a wide variety of mining technology consulting projects. My experience both stimulated my interest in technology and innovation relating to the mining sector and also helped me to refine my skills, both technical and non-technical.

British Columbia, Canada

Worked at a number of Teck Coal sites with the Real-time digital systems team. My work mainly involved:- Monitored While Drilling (MWD) data analysis and potential process improvements- Shovel payload monitoring data analysis and administrative project support- Predictive modelling of blast vibrations by location using provided input parameters
