Born in Jacksonville, Florida, Samantha learned the importance of sunscreen from an early age and then moved to Maryland where tick prevention was more prevalent. A lover of movies, she tries to see a movie in theaters at least once a week. Criterion sales, celebrity skincare routines, and Wikipedia wormholes are some of her favorite things.
FIRST ENCOUNTER WITH PHOTOGRAPHY: At the impressionable age of 14, Samantha found out that Stanley Kubrick started as a photographer and decided that she would be one as well. She enrolled in SVA intending to become an on-set stills photographer. Shortly after her junior year, she realized being involved in production was more her speed. She still takes photos from time to time.
GUILTY PLEASURES WHILE PRODUCING: Reading reviews on Goodreads, tracking her favorite production companies on Deadline or watching an episode of Hot Ones.
