Meet the Miners: Nathalia Gaviria Salinas from Colombia
Young, brave, and adventurous Nathalia Gaviria Salinas made perhaps her boldest life decision when she moved to Australia, a thousand miles away from her country, Colombia, in 2013. Nathalia, who now works as a Sales and Technical Account Manager (PAM) in the BASF ANZ Mining Solutions team, has squeezed a lot of learning into the past ten years, and in this story, she shares some of her highlights.
Meet the Miners: Dmitriy Kan from Kazakhstan
If you could pick only one word to describe Dmitriy Kan, it would definitely be 'optimistic'. The glass is always half full, and there is always a new corner of the earth to explore, with Australia as his latest destination. Dmitriy and his family arrived in Melbourne about four months ago from Moscow, Russia, where he was previously working as a Senior Mining Tech Specialist for BASF Russia.
Meet the Miners: Elie Mitshiabo from DR Congo
Elie’s limited exposure to Australia left him with almost zero expectations – but he eagerly grabbed this golden opportunity as he knew this stint, albeit short would help him develop his skills and knowledge in the mining field, while learning about other aspects of BASF especially understanding customers from different regions, providing a learning experience that would thoroughly benefit his career. Excited about what was to come, he began preparing for his temporary relocation from early this year before finally flying to Australia in June this year.
