About Samantha

Born and raised in Iowa City, Iowa, I found my love for performing early on through dance. From making my start as a toddler ballerina to competition dance, my passion for the stage has only grown.

I was introduced to the magic of theater through my mom and Mary Poppins playing on repeat on my TV. My donkey kicks on the couch and strong Cockney accent at the age of 7 made it clear that theater was my calling. I answered that call and have almost completed my training at Syracuse University about to recieve a BFA in Musical Theater.

Through my training, I have expanded my work to teaching, choreographing, understudying, assistant directing, and more. My values of reliability, kindness, collaboration, and joy are always present in my work.

I also have worked extensively with kids through being a camp counselor for overnight and theater camps. Camp made me who I am today and I am grateful for the opportunity to inspire the next generation.

I am also passionate about fashion, movies, visual arts, music, and my family and friends.

In my free time, you can typically find me outside. I love hiking, snowboarding, swimming, camping, and anything that gets me outdoors. I’m always seeking an adventure!
