I strive to embrace and appreciate every aspect of the ever entangled web that holds the theatre world together.  I am always looking for new opportunities to expand my knowledge and express what I already know and love. 

With about 7 years in the non-profit field and over 11 years of working with youth, I aspire to do work that helps people realize their dreams are beautiful, attainable, and 100% worth it. Whether it is in the classroom or managing programs behind the scenes, I believe that through dedication and belief in yourself, all dreams are possible.

Samantha is proud to be the Manager of Programs at ASTEP! ASTEP has been an inspiration for her throughout her entire career, and she is honored to be working with such a remarkably passionate and dedicated group of people, all working to make a positive difference in the world.


ASTEP was conceived by Broadway Musical Director Mary-Mitchell Campbell and Juilliard students to transform the lives of youth using the most powerful tool they had: their art. Today, ASTEP connects performing and visual artists with underserved youth in the U.S. and around the world to awaken their imaginations, foster critical thinking, and help them break the cycle of poverty.
