Sam grew up in the Portland area and studied at the SOJC—with a concentration in advertising—at the University of Oregon. Upon graduation, she moved to NYC where she got her start in digital media planning and quickly moved into integrated media strategy, planning, and activation. Again making the move cross-country, Sam followed her childhood dream of living on the beach in California when she relocated to LA, working in Hollywood on entertainment and TV media accounts. Finally moving back to Oregon, Sam plans to never leave the PNW again, and enjoys her free-time thrifting and vintage shopping, snowboarding, hiking with her dog, Ray, and traveling as much as possible.
