Sam can often be found in the studio tidying, working, editing, exploring, and learning about tech stuff. When working alongside Sam Willcocks, much confusion can be created just by someone uttering 'Sam?'.
He hopes to learn more about tech, make more shows and possibly make a piece of fiction.

Secretary
In Sam's time in the post he has worked on making it an efficient role, helping all of the members with various admin-related activities. This includes a quick response for email management, engagement with YUSU, and the minutes.
Minutes from meetings have been made more accessible with the implementation of a folder in the Team Drive. Like certain colleagues' emails, Sam has started putting the Logo on the header too, making it useful for identification when printed. Kind praise has been given for the minuting of major meetings that had a long runtime. Many a member has been surprised to find the whole discussion written down, even from an online call based meeting.
