Profile
Carmen spent nearly 7 years managing databases for mines in Perú and the U.S. At the Yauliyacu mine in Lima, she developed and managed not only an exploration database but also a geologic model. During her tenure as database manager at the Morenci mine in southeastern Arizona, she designed and implemented a QA/QC program. Just prior to joining M&A, Carmen worked for Natural Resources of Newfoundland, where she investigated arsenic in groundwater. She has experience with an arsenal of software applications, including MineSight, Datamine, acQuire, Mathematica, ArcGIS, PIMA, and Isatis. Her master’s thesis involved modeling the effect of geometry on fluid flow in fracture intersections.
A fluent English, French, and Spanish speaker, Carmen has published numerous papers.
