Sam holds multiple academic credentials including a BSc (Hons) in Environmental Science, a Post Graduate Diploma in Environmental Policy, and an MA in Environment, Policy and Society with Distinction.

Prior to joining LCMB, Sam was a Manager in the Regulatory Policy Unit of the Queensland Department of Mines and Energy.

Moreover, she has experience in vegetation management and resource efficiency from her time at the Waste Resource Action Programme (WRAP) in the UK.
