Bio
Eric Peterson, MSOD
Samantha and I partnered on a number of products, and I cannot recommend her highly enough. She brings expertise on the matter of instructional design that was invaluable to me as a content expert, but it was her spirit of partnership that made her stand out in my mind. When working with Sam, our ideas always seemed to build on each other's, and we were able to create client experiences that I never would have been able to craft on my own. She is warm, open, and a joy to work with. I hope our paths will cross again soon.
Keara DeKay
Sam was an integral part of our DEI eLearning and Training Design team. She was able to seamlessly pivot from building a customized Onboarding product to designing facilitated virtual Bias trainings. She has a deep understanding and comfortability with adult learning, virtual learning, and DEI concepts. She is also consistently positive and brings a warmth to the team. I was part of a Project Team with Sam for a large utilities client, and she was just as invested in the client relationship as I was, advocating for the best possible deliverables while maintaining consistent communication and expectation setting. She will be a fantastic culture add to her next team!
