Using Systems Thinking to Enhance the Way Businesses and Individuals Function

Hi there, I’m Dr. Samantha Rae!

But folks call me Dr. Sam. I'm a DEI Strategist and Systems Analyst with over a decade of experience and the proud CEO of DSRD Consulting. I'm also the founder of DEI Offload™, an app I created to bolster mental health and foster community within the DEI industry. As someone diagnosed late with autism, I understand firsthand the challenges and opportunities that come with neurodiversity. This personal experience has been the driving force behind my dedication to creating safer work environments and implementing necessary accommodations, especially for neurodiverse folks.

​

Over the past decade, I've brought transformative DEI solutions to organizations like Goodwill, Save the Children, and NIH, positively impacting over 10,000 employees. I've also collaborated with leaders from more than 50 universities nationwide to infuse DEI into their key processes.

With a background in Biology, Public Health, and Leadership & Organizational Management, I've dedicated my career to bringing transformative DEI solutions and a systems-thinking approach to organizations worldwide. In 2022 alone, I partnered with change-makers from over 30 esteemed companies, including AWS, Meta, and Lyft, Microsoft, to enhance their workplace culture. Moreover, I've supported over 400 DEI practitioners around the globe. You can read more in our annual report here.
