Hey there, this resume is just a taster of the real thing. For a formal copy of my resume, please get in touch here.

Introduction

I’m a MGeol Earth Sciences graduating student from the University of St Andrews, pursuing a geology exploration career in critical materials where sustainability is at the heart of my work. I have extensive fieldwork and data processing experience, and consider myself a creative, proactive person who is always willing to face a new challenge. I am fluent in both English and Welsh, and comfortable communicating scientific knowledge through either language. I am currently working to improve my Spanish communication, recently used while working in Peru for dissertation fieldwork.
