Hi, my name is Jo and I'm the proud owner of SAM's Sanctuary.  

I opened SAM's in 2024, and it has been an incredible journey being a new business owner and still working in the recovery field.

I could not have done it with the support of my loved ones, this awesome program E for All and my mentors Lara and Steve.

My passion has always been to help and empower the underserved population and the goal is to combine both of my passions into one.

Outside of work I am a mom of 3 incredible humans, a Gigi to my precious grandbaby and of course my fur babies Spooky & Penny.
