About Sam — ♥ —
Samantha Hoey Nelson is a storyteller, strategist, and mom of autistic twins. After navigating a new diagnosis and learning an entirely new language of advocacy, she created Wonderkidz LA and Storytime LA to support other families walking a similar path.
Sam is a Google AI Professional and is continuing her education in autism and neurodiversity through coursework with the UC Davis MIND Institute.
She believes the most powerful work happens around kitchen tables—where strategy meets reality, and where community changes everything.
