Summary

Dedicated to reach the goals of the team under all conditions by making systematic and organized work plans. I have been worthy of the trust of colleagues and employers by being a pioneer in the mineral exploration sector, in which have more than 10 years of experience, worked with very different management policies, sometimes under intense budget and time pressure, and in almost every step, by sharing the success and staying ahead of the failure. Contributing to the development of the people who work with in terms of vision and skills and having a share in the team, getting more efficient results with less cost has been my most important source of motivation.
