When complexity needs clarity
Hi, I’m Sam, a communicator, writer, and researcher helping organisations, non-profits, researchers, and others share science, sustainability, and innovation in ways people can actually understand and use.
I use my expertise in research, evidence synthesis, and communication to translate complex ideas into clear, accessible narratives. My background spans biological and environmental science, government roles, private-sector work, and more than a decade of experience in science communication.
Freelance
Research, knowledge translation, and writing
I work as a freelance writer and researcher across a broader range of fields, such as science, technology, sustainability, and innovation.
Ocean Oculus
The ocean communications studio
I founded Ocean Oculus to support research initiatives, projects, and organisations with strategic communications, content creation, event support, and training for scientists and practitioners. The studio primarily (but not exclusively) works in the marine space.
I also run Ocean Opportunities - a hub connecting people with the knowledge, networks, and opportunities they need to shape a better ocean future. Here, you can find and share jobs, postdoctoral positions, training, conferences, and other opportunities, discover organisations through our directories, and contribute stories and perspectives
