About Me

Hi! I’m Sam (she/her)! I’d love to share a little bit about myself!

I’m an award-winning theater artist and have worked in practically every area that theatre has to offer. I received a BA degree in Theatre Arts Studies from BYU in 2019 and an MA degree in Arts Administration from SUU in 2022. In those same years, I gave birth to my two greatest joys in life. My passions are advocating for human rights and celebrating emerging artists.

My current role as a ticket agent at the Idaho Falls Arts Council keeps me busily involved with the arts in my community. I am also serving as the board chair at An Other Theater Company in Provo, UT. When I’m not working on a project I’m probably searching for my next one or watching Gilmore Girls.

Don’t hesitate to see if we’re a good fit for your project. Reach out today!
