My name is Sam, welcome to my portfolio.
Hopefully these pieces highlight my interest in technology, UI/UX, research, and health and environmental sciences. My goal is to continue to work in these fields, while developing and applying my skills of communication and documentation.
My education and career paths have taken me in many interesting directions over the years. I began at UBC in pre-veterinary studies, where I enjoyed a balance between science and humanities. Following graduation I took time to work in the pet food industry before returning to do a master’s degree at McGill University. My time at McGill provided many excellent learning opportunities. I collaborated with several research projects across the departments of Political Science, Agriculture, and the School of Human Nutrition. Ultimately, my passion for communication, documentation, and teamwork proved greater than a desire to continue research independently.
After transitioning to technical writing, I spent time working on various freelance projects, including style guide creation, copyediting, and content creation. I’ve had the opportunity to work as a technical writer with Income Access, a Paysafe company, and at ShareGate, by GSoft. I am now happily the lead of Technical Communications at DataKitchen.
In my spare time I enjoy baking fresh bread, doing yoga, running with my dog, and learning new languages (French, Dutch, and even Python!).
