Reynolds
Edmonton, Alberta, Canada
I am a registered GIT who is actively pursuing a career as a professional geoscientist. I have a BSc in Geology and an MSc in Geochemistry. Through my graduate education, I have developed strong analytical and report writing skills. I have meaningful experience with ICP-MS and XRF. I am highly proficient with computers and have significant experience managing large data sets. I possess relevant job training, including First Aid and WHMIS certifications, and am willing to pursue further accreditations.
