Sam Farkas grew up in South Jersey and attended the College of William & Mary, where she received her B.A. in History and English. Post college, she moved to New York City, where she has made her home ever since. She worked in the rights division at Penguin Young Readers prior to joining the JGLM team in 2018. She is endlessly attempting to be artsy (with varying degrees of success): journaling, knitting, and occasionally painting. She is passionate about tea, wine, pretty much any and all food, Gritty (the mascot), New York City, and her cats Paprika and Bask.
