Hello there! My name is Samantha & I go by:

Sam, Sammie, Samantha, and Samantha Hope when my parents need to get serious with me.

I was born and raised in the California, but my second home is Wisconsin. GO PACK GO! I grew up in the Bay Area with my mom, dad, two sisters, and two rescue pups.

In 2017 I graduated from Chapman University with a BA in Strategic & Corporate Communications and a minor in Holocaust History. I know, I know. Strategic & Corporate Communications is a mouthful, so I’m going to refer to it as SCC. According to Chapman University, “The Strategic and Corporate Communication major emphasizes communication theory and practice associated with the advancement of an organization’s mission, services, and vision through persuasive messaging in the broad organizational context, by exploring the purposeful use of communication.” I learned how to design marketing messages from concept to completion based on demographics, wants, needs, and desires.

I am currently working at Classic Vacations as the Marketing Specialist for Group Travel and New Business Development. I absolutely LOVE what I do. I get to work in an ever-changing and fast-paced environment. I have the freedom to use my creativity in my current role. I strongly believe that travel is an essential way for people, from different backgrounds, to understand each other. In a world that is seeing a lot of chaos, bigotry, and violence, travel encourages mutual respect.

This is my growing portfolio of personal & professional work.

Enjoy!
