Sam joins the LNRP team with a strong foundation in ecology and conservation, as she is soon to graduate in spring 2025. With experience in two research labs, including local stream ecology in Manitowoc County and the Aquatic Ecology and Fisheries Laboratory (AEFL) at UW-Green Bay, Sam has developed a passion for understanding and protecting freshwater ecosystems. As a student coordinator for the Freshwater Collaborative of Wisconsin, she has dedicated two years to mentoring fellow students and fostering a love of science within the community.

Pursuing a Bachelor’s in Biology with an emphasis in ecology and conservation, along with double minors in chemistry and environmental science, Sam is eager to apply her knowledge and skills to real-world challenges in environmental stewardship.

Outside of work, Sam enjoys nurturing her house plants, puzzling, baking, and engaging in other “grandmotherly” activities. She also loves hiking and running in the beautiful landscapes around Manitowoc, where she lives with her fiancé.
