Bio
Natalie Stewart
Samantha was of great help during my onboarding process at MUO. She continues to be a valuable resource to me and many other team members, offering kind advice and clear guidance. As a recruiter, she skillfully helped place me in the position where I could be most productive. As an HR lead, she has gladly shared resources to improve team motivation, time management skills, and more. Her pleasant attitude and communication skills make her highly approachable for every member of our diverse workforce. She was also responsible for brainstorming our team's accountability program, which has been effective in helping workers manage deadlines. Her leadership, empathy, organization, and administrative skills are a benefit to any organization lucky enough to hire her.
