Sam Papaccioli

As Executive Assistant, Sam Papaccioli coordinates and manages a breadth of Linked Learning Alliance activities, including events, schedules, communications, and more. Her work most directly supports that of the Alliance President but also strengthens overall organizational and success and mission impact.

Sam’s previous experience includes more than a decade of classroom teaching. She has taught students in grades 6–12 within a mix of public, private, and charter schools serving primarily low-income communities across three New York City boroughs. Her background includes teaching in both general and special education classrooms, as well as experience in administration and curriculum development.

She understands the significant difference effective educational programming can make in young people’s lives, especially during adolescence, and joined the Alliance to help effect positive change at a systems level.

Sam earned a master’s degree in teaching English to speakers of other languages (TESOL) from Fordham University and her bachelor’s degree specializing in secondary education, from St. Joseph’s University.
