About Sam Clements:

Hi, my name is Sam Clements. I graduated from UNC-Chapel Hill in 2017 with degrees in Biology and Chemistry. Upon graduation, I joined Teach For America and taught two years of eighth grade science in Nashville, Tennessee. After completing the corps, I moved to Charleston and found Doors to Dream - a perfect opportunity to continue my newfound passion of children development and social justice. I steadfastly believe in the power of service to teach both professional and social-emotional skills that students will need to live their inspired, purposeful lives after graduation! In my spare time, I enjoy reading, hiking, cooking, being a sports fanatic, and hanging with friends and family.
