Sam brings to Newport ONE her passion for animal welfare advocacy and a proven track record of making data both more approachable, actionable and – believe it or not – fun! With over a decade of experience in statistics, analytics and data management, Sam combines the academic rigor she learned during her graduate studies in evolutionary biology with the real-world experience of supporting mission-driven nonprofits.
Prior to joining Newport ONE, Sam spent 5+ years in fundraising, data management and analytics at an animal welfare nonprofit. She excels at problem solving, digging into the details, and becoming an expert on the data she handles.
Sam lives in Minneapolis, MN with her partner Dan and their two cats, Frank and Bruce. Outside of work, you can find her gardening and camping when the weather is warm, and baking treats or trying new breweries when it’s too chilly to be outside.
