Samantha

Originally from Los Angeles, Samantha moved to New York City to earn her BFA at Hunter College, intent on becoming the most famous photographic printmaker on earth. She began in the darkroom, then pivoted to the service industry, where she’s spent the past twenty-five years—from Michelin-starred dining rooms to a stint as a professional cheese buyer in San Francisco that ultimately led her into restaurant operations.

Now a District Manager at Wise Sons, Samantha specializes in rebuilding systems holistically, creating hospitality environments that actually work for the people inside them. Off the clock, she’s either backpacking solo above 10,000 feet with her dog or drafting her own clothing patterns—confident that if she can fix a complex operation, she can master the math of a perfectly tailored garment.
