Summary

I am a highly motivated young man with the desire to take on new challenges. I have strong work ethic, adaptability, and exceptional interpersonal skills. Very quick to pick up new skills and I love to learn and work hard

As a proud graduate of the Air Cadet Program, I took home essential leadership, teamwork, and discipline skills. This immersive experience instilled a strong sense of responsibility and commitment to excellence. Participating in various training exercises and leadership roles within the program has developed my ability to perform under pressure and effectively collaborate with diverse teams.

As a Geological Technician, I played a pivotal role in geological exploration projects. Beyond the technical aspects, I demonstrated exceptional dedication by personally taking the initiative to drive myself and my coworkers to work regularly during our assignments in Shining Tree. This responsibility not only showcased my commitment to project success but also highlighted my proficiency in handling various vehicles in diverse and challenging terrains. Over the course of my assignments, I have accumulated extensive experience driving different vehicles in a wide range of situations, further attesting to my adaptability and resourcefulness in projects and operations.
