About

Geologist with professional experience in geological mapping, geotechnical mapping, stratigraphy, petrography, geochemical sampling of rocks and sediments, and large databases analysis and interpretation. I also have a complete software knowledge and a proficient English level. As a student, I obtained the “Universidad de Concepción” award as the best graduate of my promotion, and did several assistantships for the Geology and Mining Engineering careers. I am a responsible, proactive and determined professional, with an ease of teamwork, leadership skills and a continuous learning habit. I have interest in professional growth in the different areas of geology, aiming for high efficiency processes and high quality results.
