Summary

20|Male

I am a Dedicated and driven third-year Geoscience student majoring in Geology with a minor in Data Science at The University of Western Australia. My undergraduate studies have provided me with a strong foundational knowledge and skills in key geological and geoscientific disciplines as well as foundational technical skills in data science.


I am highly motivated to start a career as a geologist, with a strong passion and interest in mineral exploration. Committed to both professional and academic growth, I am eager to apply my knowledge in a practical setting and further develop my technical and industry-related skills. With my undergraduate studies expected to conclude at the end of 2025, I am actively seeking opportunities to gain hands-on experience within the industry.


I am open to diverse roles across geoscience disciplines and enthusiastic about collaborating with industry professionals to expand my technical expertise. I am keen to contribute to a dynamic and resourceful team, applying my analytical skills and geological knowledge in a practical environment. I am actively seeking Undergraduate geoscience roles (part-time in 2025), Vacation programs over the 2025/2026 summer or Graduate positions commencing in 2026.
