Versatile professional with an Honours degree in Mining Geology and an Honours degree in Education. Combining hands-on industry experience as a Trainee Rock Engineer in underground chrome mining with strong educational and instructional design capabilities. Highly proficient in technical writing, complex data analysis, and educational technology software.

I specialize in breaking down complex technical workflows into clear, digestible documentation and training materials. Eager to leverage my multi-disciplinary background to deliver exceptional results in technical writing, remote research, or virtual educational consulting.

Through my time as an underground Trainee Rock Engineer and a classroom educator, I have mastered essential 21st-century capabilities, including information literacy, digital capability, and complex problem-solving. I have strong command over the full Microsoft Office 365 Suite for technical writing, data management, and digital collaboration.

My technical expertise includes specialized mining software like Autocad, Sable, ArcGis and Rockscience for evaluating ground stability and mapping geological domains. I am highly capable of generating comprehensive project reports, digital instructional content, and detailed standard operating procedures for the mining, engineering, and IT-enabled education sectors.

I am proactively seeking opportunities that challenge my technical understanding and require the adoption of new, innovative methodologies.

My dual background in Mining and Education has fostered a mindset of continuous learning, ensuring I can quickly master new technical domains and translate them into educational or procedural content. I am eager to bridge the gap between complex engineering data and operational, easy-to-learn educational materials, growing my expertise in both fields simultaneously.
