Samantha Karlin

Samantha Karlin knows firsthand that building a life alongside a career in medicine comes with plenty of adventures, unexpected challenges, and a few moves along the way. She met her husband before he started medical school and has been by his side through every stage of training, eventually landing in St. Louis with their two children and two pets.

Before joining Moving Medicine Partners, Samantha worked as a social worker in public schools and later in an emergency department. Working in the same hospital as her husband gave her an even greater appreciation for the demands of a physician's schedule, along with the occasional perk of Sunday morning pancakes together in the hospital cafeteria.

Real estate has always been an interest of Samantha's, dating back to childhood afternoons spent touring open houses. But it was her own experience purchasing a home during residency that helped her recognize just how valuable the right guidance can be. She remembers feeling overwhelmed and unsure of who to turn to, especially while navigating all the other demands of medical training.

Today, Samantha loves being part of an organization that helps make those transitions easier for other medical families. Whether she's getting to know agents from across the country during new member interviews or helping newly matched physicians connect with a trusted Realtor, she especially enjoys the relationships and personal connections that come with her role.

Outside of work, Samantha enjoys cooking, hiking, biking, traveling, and discovering new restaurants. Having experienced so many chapters of the medical journey herself, she's grateful to be part of a community that helps physicians and their families feel a little more at home, wherever their careers take them.
