About Samantha

From a small town in Indiana, I knew what it meant to be part of a community at an early age and quickly developed a deep passion for charitable work. This resolve stuck with me through college at the University of Florida (Go Gators!) by working with various volunteer groups supporting the Gainesville area. Now in the medical field, I embrace any chance to help those around me, so it was only natural to leap at the opportunity to help the Tampa Bay community.

I am deeply driven to help the Westchase Charitable Foundation through this fundraising campaign because of their mission to help families. It means the world to me to be part of this cause. I look forward to being your next Woman of the Year!
