About Sam

Sam is an experienced facilitator of curriculum focused on sexual health, puberty, safety, and relationships for adolescents. She has expertise in outreach, communications, and strengths-based critical thinking.

Sam is passionate about the ways in which trusted adults can provide skills, knowledge, and support, so adolescents can make informed decisions. Sam is dedicated to advancing justice through collaboration and co-creation.

Sam is originally from Iowa and feels at home when driving through cornfields, but she loves to travel! When she is not working with trusted adults, teachers, and facilitators to improve the sexual health knowledge of adolescents, Sam can be found browsing plant stores, reading in coffee shops, and doing TikTok trends with her pet rabbit, Millie, and her partner, Jordan.
