“I hired Sam to drive the strategic planning of a three-part knowledge exchange series related to substance use policy and practice hosted by Health Canada. She provided strategic advice and guidance and was thoughtful in her approach. She demonstrated exceptional professionalism and interpersonal skill in working to bring together a range of health, regulatory and community partners in a complex and politically charged landscape.
We implemented the critical path she created and it led to a successful meeting series. I highly recommend her to support professional planning and implementation initiatives and hope to work with her again in the future.”
“Samantha seamlessly integrated into our team to support end-to-end project planning, curriculum path development and milestone mapping for an ADHD and substance use focused online education program over a 2-year timespan. She helped us break down a complex project into manageable components and supported our team in creating and actioning a timeline that was realistic and would meet the needs of the project funder.
She brought a breadth and depth of expertise in crafting education content for medical professionals and other health care providers. Specifically, she helped us think about how to write content that would be engaging and digestible and how to include patient and family voices and experiences in meaningful and appropriate ways. She is an effective communicator and can work with a variety of partners and stakeholders, including professionals from diverse disciplines. Our team really enjoyed working with Sam and I would not hesitate to recommend her.”
“Having worked with Samantha as both a colleague and a client, I have witnessed firsthand her exceptional leadership in public health research, evaluation, and clinical education, specifically in the substance use field. She combines strategic vision with practical insight to deliver thoughtful, impactful results, ranging from grassroots community initiatives to complex, multi-sectoral health system interventions.
Samantha’s proven ability to foster interdisciplinary collaboration and drive evidence-informed systems change makes her an invaluable asset. I highly recommend her to any organization seeking a knowledgeable, values-driven, and solution-oriented professional.”
