My name is Sam, welcome to my portfolio.
Hopefully these pieces highlight my interest in research, health, the environment, and technology. My ambition is to continue pursuing these fields, while developing and applying 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 spending some time working on freelance projects, including style guide creation, copyediting, and technical writing, I am now happily a permanent member of the GSoft family as technical content specialist.
In my spare time I enjoy baking fresh bread, doing yoga, running with my dog, and practicing my French and Dutch.
