Hailing from Long Island, New York, Samantha has lived and breathed art all her life. She considers herself a multidisciplinary artist, having interest and skill in animation, illustration, motion graphics, graphic design, and more. Earning her BFA in Computer Animation, Samantha graduated summa cum laude from Lynn University in Boca Raton, Florida. She now works as a graphic designer for live events and an art teacher on the weekends in her local community.
Although she's always had a passion for activism, Samantha's personal journey began in 2017 when she worked a summer job as an art teacher at Sunrise Day Camp, an association that provides a full summer experience for children with cancer and their siblings. She was quickly compelled by the mission and felt at home with both fellow staff and campers. She returned for two more summers before switching to work behind the scenes on pre-recorded video content for the organization during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Samantha's ultimate passion in life is to help people, and her toolbox is filled with art supplies.
She believes in showcasing the importance of each person and the stories they have to tell. Her lifelong goal is to grow as both an artist and person, making people feel seen and learning from their experiences in order to make a difference, no matter how small.
