Most people call me Sam (she/her/hers). I'm a writer, editor, photographer, freelance marketing specialist, published children's picture book author of "Waverly Braves the Breeze: The Story of a Galápagos Albatross," and creator of the organization Playful Acorns.

 

I love to connect with others and create meaning through words, images, designs, and process art and nature play with my toddler near our home in Madison, WI.

 

Nature inspires me, and I'm an optimist at heart. I believe there is still good in the world waiting to be discovered and that we all have a story worth sharing. 

​

I enjoy listening, observing, and helping your stories take flight.
