Sam Guthman

Sam was raised in Chicago, Illinois where she completed her Bachelor's in Environmental Science and later went on to earn a Master's in Public Policy as well from Loyola University Chicago. She is the daughter of a Cantonese immigrant parent and proud member of the queer community. Through her work in advocacy and environmental justice, Sam aims to bridge the gap between policy/decision makers and the people they serve. Since moving to Portland a few years ago, she has developed a deep appreciation for the people here and is continuously inspired by all Oregonians. When not working, she likes to game, read, and spend time with her puppy, XingYin.
