Past Life:

Originally from Salt Lake City Utah, Sam moved to Boston in 2014. She began working for a small purpose-driven coffee shop that looked to make an impact by donating all profits to local non-profits. From there, Sam went on to work for the Mayor's office in Boston and helped to run a community engagement department, City Hall to Go. In that role, Sam got to know and connect with all of Boston neighborhoods. In 2018 Sam joined the Shah Family Foundation.

Sam lives in Hyde Park with her husband Robby and their furry feline, Kitty.

Favorite Thing About My Job:

Sam loves being able to visit and connect with all the schools in every neighborhood in Boston. She loves to see and hear all of the amazing success stories that come from the work we do.

Personal:

During quarantine, Sam and her husband learned how to play Rummy 500 and have become a bit obsessed. Sam loves yoga, gardening, and taking long drives with her husband. A few of her bucket list items include: living 3-6 months at a time in random cities throughout the world years, go to a Formula 1 race in Monte Carlo, and visiting every national park (8 down 62 to go)! She has a real fascination for anything dinosaur-related, and her favorite movie of all time is Jurassic Park.
