I have had the pleasure to work with Samantha over the course of several events, including CEO National Conferences and Self Employment in the Arts National Conferences. Samantha is organized, detailed, and a great addition to any team. Her positive attitude and ability to work under pressure is a huge asset in event planning and she has contributed a great deal to several successful teams. I recommend Samantha as a strong piece to any event planning team.
