Mercedes M. Augusta 📝📌
I had the pleasure of working with Samantha when she was a Mental Health Professional transitioning her career into Training and Development and have always known her to be a dedicated, inspiring, and deeply curious individual. As a Trainer and Instructional Designer, Samantha has the unique ability to give her learners an impactful, energizing, insightful, motivating and actionable experience in each class she leads. She holds an expertise in developing learning programs, courses & content and overseeing the process from vision to delivery. A people person and extraordinarily helpful by nature, Samantha is always interested in building relationships and tailoring learning content based on different needs and styles. Creative and resourceful, she definitely has a knack for building and streamlining processes and employing both her analytical skills while thinking outside the box in challenging circumstances. Being on a team with Samantha is never dull. She adds a positive spark while providing value with her knowledge and engagement.

I was afforded the opportunity to work with Samantha at Montefiore Medical Center during the entire Epic Implementation Project. It was a real pleasure to work with an experienced professional and knowledgeable individual. Samantha's Instructional Designer and training skills, knowledge of the application, troubleshooting skills and friendly personality was an asset during numerous Golives. Her calm attitude, focus attention to detail, and pleasant demeanor not only made her an excellent supervisor, co-worker, team player, but a definite asset to our team. Samantha would be an excellent addition to any organization that hires her. Her skill level of professional high level performance and personable demeanor makes her an invaluable asset to any Epic team.
