It was probably the wisest decision I have made. Following graduation I became a mining engineer at Mine Development Associates in Reno, responsible for providing engineering services for a variety of clients. I specialized in mineral resource estimation and mine planning and design using Surpac, a sophisticated computer software package. Currently, I am a grade control engineer at the Rosebud mine near Winnemucca. It is a small underground mine and I have been given a variety of responsibilities.
Mining is a very fast-paced, exciting career.
I feel it is an excellent career choice for both men and women.
