In addition to dozens of articles I wrote for BuzzFeed and Adweek while on staff,
these three pieces highlight some of my published work.

I am currently, and proudly, represented by Jessica Friedman of Sterling Lord Literistic.

Resume

With a prior career in digital media, I also have experience in freelance writing/editing before training to become a certified life coach. My book, How to Deal: Tarot for Everyday Life, was published in 2018 by Harper Collins. In 2020, I started pursuing an MDiv degree at Union Theological Seminary.

Testimonials

Working with Sami brought out the most honest, motivated, and true version of me! She actively listened and really made the space to focus on my goals and feelings around them each session. She helped me focus my ambitions with great perception, kindness, and a great sense of humor!
She always came prepared to every session but was incredibly open to working on whatever I came in with, and often reached out with resources after.
— Rachel
Sami helped me create concrete goals around my writing life. She is super supportive, upbeat, and fun. Our phone calls felt like a nice chat with a friend, but I always walked away with concrete steps to take action on my goals.
I am new to coaching and wasn’t sure what to expect and I was pleasantly surprised at how it helped me not only create structure around current goals, but also helped me to discover new and exciting goals that were living just below the surface.
— Ellen
This was my first time working with a life coach. Sami helped me to cut through the noise in my head and to come up with an achievable plan of action to meet my goals. She makes every session feel specific and not overwhelming, which helps to give me the motivation I need during the rest of the week.
— Gil
