An NYU Psychology Major and TFA Alum, Samantha believes that an equitable society begins with education, and educational equity starts with addressing the needs of the whole child. In 2018, she developed KlickEngage, a SEL app that amplifies the voices of students, facilitates access to resources, and ensures every child feels safe and supported. For her work, she has been named a TFA Social Innovation Awardee, a Camelback Venture Fellow, a Kravis Lab Moonshot Fellow, and an NPR “How I Built This” Fellow. Recently, she received her Master’s in Education Policy and Management from the Harvard Graduate School of Education.

Samantha is representing KlickEngage, a finalist in the 2019 Innovate for Good Challenge, as an organization applying new I.T. in the artificial intelligence category.
