About Samantha Kasselman
Samantha (Sammy) Kasselman earned her Bachelor of Science in Public Health and Applied Statistics from the University of Michigan, where she contributed to research on potential treatment pathways for pancreatic cancer. She is currently pursuing a Master of Science in Genetic Counseling at the University of Pennsylvania, leading research on pancreatic imaging findings in individuals with pathogenic variants who are at high risk for developing pancreatic cancer.
Sammy joined Sky Foundation’s Board of Directors in 2022. As the Board’s liaison to the Scientific Advisory Committee, she attends all quarterly SAC meetings and final reviewer discussions, translating complex scientific recommendations into accessible updates and keeping the SAC’s goals aligned with Sky Foundation’s long-term strategic direction.
Her commitment is deeply personal: her grandmother, Sheila Sky Kasselman, Sky Foundation’s founder, was diagnosed with the disease when Sammy was a child. Inspired by her grandmother’s courage and vision, Sammy continues her legacy of advancing awareness, research, and early detection efforts.
