Samantha Covey

Samantha began working at EBI as an Independent Living Skills Instructor in 2004, after working in a group home setting for adults with developmental disabilities. She worked in several managerial positions within the Independent Living Skills department, including Coordinator and Assistant Director. Since January 2014, she has served as Director of Independent Living Services. Samantha is dedicated to supporting adults with disabilities to lead independent, healthy, happy, and productive lives. One area of particular importance to Samantha is working closely with family members and friends of people served by EBI, as she recognizes the value of natural supports within a person’s life. It is Samantha’s philosophy that adults with disabilities lead lives of their choosing with dignity and as much independence as possible. Samantha feels fortunate that years of employment at East Bay Innovations have allowed her an extensive amount of professional development as well as deep personal growth. Samantha lives locally and enjoys spending time with family and friends.
