Bio
Stacey O'Sullivan
Shawn came to North American Tungsten with a wealth of prior experience, to take on his first position on a mine site, and it was by no means entry level! Shawn faced a steep learning curve, which he approached with enthusiasm and diligence. Shawn quickly grasps new tasks and concepts, and quickly fulfilled his new role with ease. His attention to detail is unparalleled, his written and verbal communication skills invaluable, and his easygoing demeanor an asset to the team. Shawn is a self-starter for whom taking initiative is second nature. I have no doubt Shawn's skill set will take him far in the future!
