Sami is the youngest of three kids, which means she’s had years of professional training in “being heard and standing out at the dinner table.” That "sing out Louise" survival skill turned into an actual career. She recently starred in the Amazon Prime comedy series "SAMI" (which, despite the name, is not based on her life), appeared in Broadway's "Once Upon a One More Time" at Broadway Inbound, and in a workshop of "Love Life" at New York City Center and performed Off-Broadway in "The Green Room".

​

Selected regional highlights include

Elle Woods in "Legally Blonde" and Wednesday Addams in "The Addams Family" — yes, she survived both the pink and the pigtails. On screen, she has appeared in Showtime’s "House of Lies" and Funny or Die’s "Big" and has appeared on cabaret stages from LA to NYC.

​

Sami is based primarily in New York City, but she frequently hops back to Los Angeles, where her dogs, Bear the Yorkie and Shiloh the Aussie, graciously allow her to visit and snuggle them. While she’s there, she also gets to spend time with her favorite horse, Penny.

​

She credits her dad (an unofficial Michelin-star chef) for inspiring her love of cooking; her siblings for sharpening both her sense of humor and her lightning-fast instincts; and her mom for a million things. 

 

Sami can sign in conversational ASL (American Sign Language), has developed a wanderlust for the world, dabbles in ukulele, guitar & piano, loves her pottery and sewing classes and has an unbeatable eye for vintage apparel, shoes and baubles.
