About Me

I am a professional writer and communicator, specialising in conservation, climate change, and environmentalism. My academic background is scientific, namely an MA in Natural Sciences from the University of Cambridge. I then spent four years in several roles at Mindfully Wired Communications Ltd, an environmental communications consultancy focused on everything marine. See my LinkedIn page for more information on my career and the exciting places it has taken me. I am now working freelance full-time, focusing on science and nature writing. If you could see us working together, please do get in touch and I would be delighted to begin a conversation.

You can find a little taster of my freelance work below, and my CV to the right!

I have written over 130 articles and activity sheets for Futurum Careers Ltd, an organisation that collaborates with researchers to encourage school students to consider STEM careers.

“Jacob… has proved himself to be a professional and highly skilled writer. He is able to turn a broad range of technically challenging subjects, from 5G technologies to hill farming and slow slip events, into engaging articles suitable for 14-19 year olds. He has never missed a deadline, and is an absolute pleasure to work with.” - Karen Lindsay, Director, Futurum Careers Ltd

Call to Adventure is an adventure travel organisation with a focus on environmental responsibility. I write for them on the intersection between environment and adventure.

“If you're looking for a writer to cover environmental topics, Jacob is your man. Jacob writes, researches, and communicates extremely well. Jacob's work is timely, well structured and often requires little to no editing. He's also a great guy and a pleasure to work with.” - George Beesley, CEO, Call to Adventure

Lost and Found Nature examines reasons for optimism in conservation, through case studies on species thought extinct and then rediscovered. I have written several articles for them.

“It was a joy to work with Jacob and I would hire him again in a heartbeat. He is meticulous in his background research work, professional in his handling of feedback and has a clear and accessible writing style that can reach a broad range of audiences.”  - Diogo Veríssimo, Founder, Lost and Found Nature
