Bio
Caroline Jeria
I've known Samanta since we did our Bachelors together, and had many opportunities to work with her in groups and doing research. Samanta is a natural leader that is focused and purpose-driven and makes sure everyone in the team has everything they need to succeed. Thanks to her qualities, technical knowledge, and interpersonal skills, Samanta is able to perform in different industries and learn quickly how to navigate new environments. Recently I have had the pleasure to collaborate with her again, as part of the effort of HubApta to evaluate new technologies. Samanta has grown into an excellent Technology Strategy Coordinator, and I am looking forward to working with her again.
