I was extremely impressed by Samantha during her internship at The Dali Museum. She has a strong attention to detail which does not come at the expense of efficiency. She eagerly accepted new challenges and gracefully balanced multiple projects, from analytics to research and even surveying visitors onsite. There is no task she fell short on. Samantha is organized, trustworthy and an excellent communicator. I look forward to seeing all of the great things she'll do!
