I’m Samantha: deeply curious, constantly learning, advocate for change that scales.

Me on a very good hair and skin day (tweaked by AI).

Here are some things I’ve been up to lately:

  • Completing an 8-week creative writing class to help me rejuvenate my writing practice (July 2026).

  • Helping a friend plan a fundraising event for Chicago Abortion Fund (save the date for August 22, 2026!).

  • Nurturing my identity as a toddler mom and advocating for better workplace support for parents.

Below are a few personal projects.

StoryShifted, LLC

I started Storyshifted in 2022 to learn more about entrepreneurship while helping others (most often recent grads) gain confidence navigating the job search. In 2026, Storyshifted is pivoting to a new model that supports individuals as they ramp into new roles. You can see our legacy offering here.

I wrote about the supernatural stories that are part of our family histories. Part ghost story, part paranormal investigation how-to. I’m using this as an outlet to hone my storytelling skills. Learn more here.

Family Ghosts

Today, I’m working on developing skills that will serve me for the next decade of my personal and professional life. I believe in synchronicity, the power of energy, and living in gratitude.
