“Samantha has something special, and you can see it in just about everything she does and the multitude of relationships she manages. She is brilliantly smart and clearly prioritizes life-long learning. I believe this allows her to create powerful opportunities for people to teach, learn, and connect. She takes those opportunities and transforms them into a community through events that are expertly organized, executed, and wildly creative.
