Introduction

Hello, I'm Ivannie Rhoss G. Parrilla, a dedicated Mining Engineering professional passionate about sustainable resource development and environmental stewardship in the Philippines.

My journey in mining engineering has been shaped by hands-on experience at Hinatuan Mining Corporation, where I contributed to nickel mining operations while developing expertise in safety protocols, environmental monitoring, and technical documentation. This experience, combined with my academic foundation from Adamson University, has prepared me to make meaningful contributions to the mining industry.

I believe in the power of responsible mining practices to drive economic growth while protecting our environment and communities. My goal is to be part of the solution in advancing safe, sustainable, and socially responsible mining operations that benefit both industry stakeholders and local communities.

"Committed to advancing safe, sustainable, and socially responsible mining practices in the Philippines while contributing to the nation's mineral resource development goals."

About

I graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Mining Engineering from Adamson University in 2024 and am currently a candidate for the Mining Engineer Licensure Examination 2025.

Throughout my studies and internships, I gained technical expertise in mining operations, environmental monitoring, and technical documentation. My professional journey includes hands-on experience at Hinatuan Mining Corporation working with nickel mining operations, freelance consulting with international clients, and several years of university-based administrative service while maintaining academic excellence as an Ozanam Study Grant Scholar.

These experiences have developed my expertise in geological surveying, ore sampling and analysis, safety compliance, and proficiency with industry-standard software including AutoCAD and mine planning applications. I am committed to advancing safe, sustainable, and socially responsible mining practices while contributing to the Philippines' mineral resource development goals.
