Fondest memory of S-IMEW/how S-IMEW helped shape/impact your career/path S-IMEW greatly impacted my choice of career path. Through the workshop I was introduced to new concepts, methods, commodities and deposits showcasing how diverse and multifaceted mineral exploration actually is. I wanted to experience everything mineral exploration had to offer and this is the reason I became a consultant, so that I could learn something new every day.

The workshop is where I met Scott Jobin-Bevans who was running the program at the time. It subsequently resulted in my first geology job working for his consulting company. This has come full circle in that I have recently began working with him again. All as a result of my S-IMEW trip. I forged some lifelong friendships, and learnt as much in those two week as any course I took. It was truly the highlight of my academic career.

My fondest memory of S-IMEW would have to be the networking events and the field mapping exercises. The field exercises taught me so much, I got to learn from geologists leading the exercises as well as from my fellow students. I came back from S-IMEW with improved field mapping skills that I have used in various jobs since attending in 2013. The networking events allowed us to meet industry professionals and gave us time to get to know our fellow students better. I still keep in touch with many of the people I met during my two weeks at S-IMEW.
