Senior Geologist, New Energy, Whitecap Resources Inc.
S-IMEW was a thrilling dive into the mineral exploration and mining domain. The camaraderie fostered there proved instrumental, as years later I still communicate and work with fellow participants. While my professional journey early on shifted to the oil and gas sector after switching consulting firms, the foundation in mineral exploration remains integral to my current role. Now as a Senior Geologist, my focus extends to exploring New Energy prospects in the subsurface—embracing challenges like Carbon Capture Sequestration, Geothermal Energy, and extracting Lithium from subsurface brines.
