About Samantha

A graduate of Florida State University in communication and political science, I have worked in public affairs, community relations, media and social media; and government affairs for 15 years. I currently lead corporate communications and community investment for a mid-tier government defense contractor in Reston, VA. Previously, I worked for the Department of Veterans Affairs, designing communication campaigns to promote VA products and services, including the Post-9/11 GI Bill and home loan program. I launched social media accounts for the 2010 Census and have led sports marketing, social and video campaigns. I am a member of Team RWB, a huge soccer fan and dog owner.
