She is an international yoga teacher, wellness strategist, and creative entrepreneur based in Miami, Florida.Before launching her wellness career, Sam spent six years living overseas in the Czech Republic, South Africa, and Rwanda. She holds a Master’s degree in International Administration and Law from the University of Miami and previously managed a global study abroad program focused on 20th-century European history and the Holocaust. Her humanitarian work included leading over 25 educational tours across Poland, Germany, Hungary, Austria, and Turkey.In 2012, a human rights program in Rwanda unexpectedly reshaped her path. After a season of travel across southern Africa, she returned to Rwanda to work at Agahozo-Shalom Youth Village (ASYV), a residential community for youth orphaned after the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi. There, she mentored 16 young girls while also working with global donors and development partners. After years abroad, Sam returned to the U.S. with one clear insight: human beings are wired for connection. Cafe Namaste® was born from that truth, a movement to help people feel more empowered, more connected, and more alive, even in the face of life’s messiness.Today, Cafe Namaste® operates as a growing platform for lifestyle events, resident programming, hospitality wellness, community service programs (seva), and small business collaborations. Sam also partners with wellness brands to elevate their message through creative strategy, photography, and storytelling.She is an experienced E-RYT500 yoga teacher certified through Yoga Alliance.
