At 37 years old, Samantha has volunteered for progressive causes for more than half of her life. Since moving to Kalamazoo in 2024, she’s worked in progressive issue advocacy with the Michigan League of Conservation Voters and Planned Parenthood of Michigan. More locally, she allies herself with activist volunteers, mutual aid workers, and social service workers. She has not played D&D in a calendar year and is really in her feelings about it.

She lives with her Partner and their cat in a little woody, mushroom-covered abode in train runoff on the Kalamazoo River bank.
