Sam Goff (She/Her)

Other
Self-proclaimed "animation activist" Sam Goff serves as a Creative Talent Manager with Fourth Wall Management. She has a long history with the animation industry: graduated from Loyola Marymount University with an Animation B.A., worked in TV and Feature production management at Dreamworks, and was an integral member of Netflix Animation's Outreach & Engagement team. She originally joined FWM as a recruiter, but eventually pivoted into her current role - after all, managing is just "reverse recruiting". Outside of her day job, Goff is a mentor and educator in the animation space. She regularly volunteers her time to mentor with Black N' Animated, BRIC, Rise Up Animation, and Women in Animation where she specializes in helping those looking to break into the industry make their applications “recruiter friendly”. She teaches her personal animation DEI activism course, Animated Perspectives at her alma mater, Loyola Marymount University. She is also teaching an animation practicum course with Cal State Long Beach. She lives in Los Angeles with her wife and 12 beloved pets.
