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.

Prior to attending S-IMEW in 2014 I had no idea just how broad the minerals industry was; I remember being awestruck by the possibilities in front of me as I stepped into this new career. Now five years later I have completed a M.Phil in Geology at the University of Adelaide. I am now actively searching for the next world-class IOCG deposit in the Olympic Domain of South Australia. S-IMEW has been a springboard for my career, helping me to develop the confidence and experience necessary to excel in the mineral exploration world. I am truly thankful for the opportunity to have attended.

The network of S-IMEW students from 2009 has resulted in surprising opportunities, new career paths, and simply excitement as I have followed along with their own respective work. It has been a successful group, and I have no doubt that S-IMEW had a role in that.
