Samantha is a dedicated and multifaceted musician, educator, and entrepreneur. Originally hailing from Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, she earned her Bachelor of Music in Music Theater at the University of Central Oklahoma in 2013. She became a Colorado-certified K-12 Music educator in 2020 and is currently serving her seventh year of teaching K-5 Music. 

For the past five years, Samantha has been a cornerstone of the performing arts department at Ignacio School District. In 2024, she founded the Voices of Ignacio Choir where she currently serves as director.

Her passion for music education extends beyond the classroom and into professional production.

The anthem can be found on the official Character Counts! Website, and is currently available for streaming on Spotify and other major platforms.

Outside of the school system, Samantha is active with the local music industry as the CEO and co-founder of Agave Studios where she and her team offer private lessons and music production. 

On her off-time, Samantha enjoys roadtrips, jamming out, watching old musicals, and cuddling with her cat, Louie.
