Today, Samantha serves as Operations Coordinator, a role that draws on the full breadth of that experience. She also brings deep expertise in the internet services space, and one of her greatest professional strengths is managing the legal agreement process with DIRECTV — ensuring contracts are signed, processed, and approved efficiently and correctly.

“Every time I look up from my desk, I’m greeted by stunning mountain views — something I’m still a little in awe of,” she says.

Outside of work, Samantha enjoys exploring Virginia with her husband Danny, playing video games, watching documentaries and films, and getting into what she describes as hilariously competitive card games with family — all of whom are close by in Virginia. She has also built a following on Instagram that she is genuinely proud of, and has her sights set on one more creative goal this year.

“I want to get back into YouTube,” she says. “That’s on my list.”
