The field of mining engineering has become a passion for Keisha. A national scholar, she first
pursued a BSc in Geology. A keen curiosity and interest in rock mechanics soon got the better of
her and this led to her pursuit of Geotechnical Engineering which in turn led to her full exposure
to rock mechanics and mining and resulted in her decision on a career path as a mining engineer.
With the full support of her family and the mentorship of a highly regarded professional mining
engineer, Keisha was provided with the impetus to achieve professional status in her field.
