About Samantha
Samantha was born and raised in the Central Jersey area, and is a huge fan of the beach, sushi, and the T.V show, The Office. In the Fall of 2022, she received her Bachelor of Arts in Theatre : concentrations in Musical Theatre Performance and Education, from DeSales University. She found her love for theatre at the age of four, after seeing her first Broadway show, The Lion King. Starting then, and still to this day, her family has a tradition of seeing a Broadway show every year around Christmas time. This tradition instilled her passion throughout her childhood, and Samantha is extremely grateful for it as it has become her life.
While performance is Samanthas true passion, she also has a love for educating youth in all aspects of theatre. She has taught at theatre conservatories for grades ranging from elementary through high school, and has choreographed for school districts in both Pennsylvania and New Jersey. Not only is she proud and heart-warmed to create and share her art, but she finds inspiration in her students on how to be a better performer and person.
