Mining professional with hands-on experience as a technician, supervisor, and magazine master. I balance a strong technical background in drilling and geotechnical testing with leadership skills developed during my time in student government at MUST. I’m a reliable "all-rounder" who values safety, practical problem-solving, and clear communication in every project I take on.
