Betty Wong Ortiz, director of marketing content strategy at Dropbox

Sam is a skilled writer and editor who persistently digs for the right story that best meets her audience's needs, and who knows how to deliver content in just the right format across multiple platforms — whether in digital, video, social, print, or CRM — to drive consumer engagement and conversion. Her can-do, solutions-oriented approach and her ability to turn performance metrics into insights that drive content decisions make Sam a valuable asset to any content marketing or editorial team.

Allison Lee-Cimo, social media manager at Pepper

From day one, it was abundantly clear that Sam is an extremely driven, passionate, and hard-working individual. Her ability to make confident, well-informed decisions about what stories are published and how they are covered is one of the many reasons she is a reputable leader. In addition to her editorial concepts, her in-depth knowledge about voice, strategic branding, and working with a team of content producers was extremely admirable during our professional work relationship. If given the opportunity, I would love to work with Sam again.

Elizabeth Ellis, founder of The Liz Ellis Word Company

But Sam has another trait that can't be taught or learned: courage. [Unafraid to] master new skills and solve problems in uncharted territory…Sam meets every challenge with determination, creativity and a profound sense of ownership, over-delivering every time.
