I have a scientific background in climate relevant biogases, but for the past decade have been specialising in communicating marine science to different audiences and in leading SAMS’ public engagement portfolio.
As Head of Communications I oversee our external relations including public and media relations and public engagement, both at a strategic and operational level. Departmental outputs include events like Oban’s Festival of the Sea, websites, publications, photography and film, school liaison and public engagement, as well as design and printing of posters and other displays.
My main project recently has been the development and operation of the Ocean Explorer Centre, an exhibition and outreach facility that showcases SAMS’ marine science to the general public.
I am also a lecturer on our undergraduate marine science programmes and provide short communication training events for postgraduates.
