Growing up with a football coach as a father and two brothers who played football throughout their careers, Samantha is a true football fanatic and Carolina girl. After receiving her bachelor’s degree in Public Relations from the University of South Carolina, Samantha moved back to her hometown of Charlotte, N.C. She was a member of Chi Omega while attending the University of South Carolina. On the weekends you can usually find Samantha cheering on her Gamecocks in Columbia or at the Bank of America stadium rooting for the Carolina Panthers. Her favorite football player is, of course, Peyton Manning. When she is not cheering on her favorite sports teams or players, Samantha enjoys spending time with her family and friends, going to the park with her dog, shopping, traveling, blogging and working out. Samantha hopes to work for a sports team in the marketing communications field one day.
