hi, i’m sam!

 

Sam was born into a family of opera singers and raised in the San Gabriel Valley. There was a point in time when Sam had glasses, braces, head and neck gear, and was the second tallest person at school. That was fifth grade. In 2012, while working in a storage warehouse by herself, she decided to join The Groundlings and has been writing and performing there ever since. She can now be seen performing in their Main Company Show! Sam can also be seen in the movies BIGFOOT FAMOUS and RE-OPENING. When she's not writing and performing, you can find her camping in some of the most beautiful places.
