Founded in 2009 by Sam and her partners, Hawthorne Residential Partners was built upon a powerful vision: to prioritize people, champion kindness, and consistently uplift those they encounter.

Sam is instrumental in defining and executing the company’s strategic vision, overseeing crucial areas such as corporate and property operations, value-add initiatives, new construction projects, brand development, marketing strategies, and comprehensive training programs.
Central to the ethos of Hawthorne Residential Partners is the “Live It” culture, passionately championed by Sam. This dynamic culture empowers and inspires associates to embrace their entrepreneurial spirit and proactively seek opportunities to enrich the lives of residents and colleagues alike. The “Live It” culture at Hawthorne also emphasizes the importance of enjoyment and team connection, exemplified by Sam’s occasional table tennis challenges within the corporate office, fostering a vibrant and healthy work environment. Her contagious enthusiasm and unwavering commitment to the “Live It” culture resonate throughout Hawthorne Residential Partners, positively influencing every employee and resident experience. Sam’s dedication to people and her significant influence within the multifamily industry extend far beyond the immediate scope of Hawthorne.
