For the winter Semesters 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, I taught Health Economics and Pharmacoeconomics in the PharmD program at the University of Toronto. This course surveys the economic aspects of the health care and pharmaceutical sector. Specific topics include the economics of the development of new drugs and the economic appraisal of new drugs through health technology assessments. The course used the methods of economic analysis to investigate how markets allocate resources, when they work well and the role for government when they do not work well.

• Coordinated daily mining operations collaboratively with mining supervisors and engineers. • Continuously built and maintained a strong working knowledge of relevant software applications including AutoCAD, MAPInfo, MS Access, Excel and A-Mine. • Maintained and managed geological databases, ensuring accuracy and quality of data collected. • Produced and maintained geological maps, assay reports and other technical documents. • Communicated with engineering and mining personnel regarding status of headings, grade issues and status of mining plans.

Planned and conducted a geological, geochemical and geophysical field study in a remote (helicopter access) area of the Hudson Bay lowlands. As a leader on a team of 6, I was tasked with finding in the field solutions for many logistical challenges while ensuring proper data collection and management.

In my first position out of university I contributed to many different consulting projects developing a wide array of experiences. Initially, I consulted at San Gold as a core logger - a place I would later be brought back to work at as a mine geologist. Additionally, I was involved in the planning and execution of several junior exploration field programs.

Primarily, I was responsible for creating a fun and safe environment for the children while teaching them how to ride bikes. Additionally, I had administrative duties that included sales of merchandise, registration, and inventory management.

Participated in a team of 6 with several friends from university working to build a cottage in South Eastern Ontario. The close-knit environment allowed me to learn a lot about carpentry, construction, budget management, and client communication.

I worked in the regional exploration department in South America where I was tasked with performing geological mapping and geophysical surveys within the jungle of Suriname. The unique opportunity allowed me to hone my communication and decision making skills while I gained experience adapting to many different on the job situations.
