Hi, I'm Sam...

Sam is an undergraduate student at Oregon State University who is pursuing three bachelors degrees in Human Development and Family Sciences, Kinesiology, and Psychology. 

​

Sam was inspired to build Every Elf Belongs when she started studying child abuse and neglect. She focused specifically on how breaks from school can be more difficult for some children who do not have safe homes to go to. She wanted to make a difference in their lives, as well as every child's life. 

​

When Sam is not studying or building websites, she enjoys volunteering with special needs children, writing poetry, and going on walks in nature.

​

Every Elf Belongs is designed specifically for young children, but it can be used by any age! We operate year round and send out monthly or biweekly emails from our hardworking elves and reindeers. These emails are a great way to bring some magic and positivity to your life. We also have free and exclusive content for those working directly with children, such as teachers and pediatric healthcare workers. Sign up for our newsletter below if you are interested!
