Summary
I am a 3rd year geological engineering student interested in working as a geotech intern in the mining and construction industry. I have relevant subject knowledge in soil mechanics, site investigation, mine waste management and rock mechanics. I am eager to apply these concepts into real world scenarios and tackle challenges that are commonly faced in the industry.
