About Mychael Drew Holloran

I am a Geological Engineering student at the Colorado School of Mines (B.S, May 2026) with hands-on experience in geotechnical design, field mapping, and subsurface investigation. My recent work as a Geotechnical Intern with NewFields MDTS focused on tailings storage facility design, slope stability analysis, and geotechnical data collection to support dam safety.Through Mines’ Geological Engineering Field Session, I gained practical experience in structural mapping, hydrogeologic sampling, engineering geology evaluations, and underground mine resource assessment earning top marks for technical accuracy and interpretation.Beyond engineering, I bring leadership and communication skills from hospitality, entrepreneurship, and volunteer service. As Vice President of Communications for Mines Club Ultimate Frisbee, I managed recruitment, team coordination, and event planning.I am passionate about geotechnical engineering, environmental stewardship, and applying analytical tools like Civil 3D, Rocscience Slide2, ArcGIS, and Python to solve real-world challenges.I am actively seeking opportunities in geotechnical engineering, mining, and environmental consulting where I can apply my technical background and grow as a professional.
