Sam’s experience in eLearning development and involvement in game projects at Melcher Studios (2016-present) lends well to her roles in game development.

In 2020, Sam’s Moonshell Island submission was awarded the Massive Sacks of Cash grant ($500/month for that year) by Massive Corporation Game Studios. In 2022, Sam was accepted into the Baby Ghosts concept grant and peer accelerator program by Weird Ghosts and Gamma Space.
