Hi! I’m Samantha, a Jill of many random trades (hence the nickname: Random Sam). Born to Caribbean immigrants, I grew up in South Florida, where I spent many hours reading period or science fiction novels and watching films released decades prior to my conception. I have a bachelor’s degree in Finance and a Master of Arts in Human Services Counseling.

Professionally, I’ve done everything from originating and managing multi-million dollar commercial loans to managing risk and analytics at a multinational automotive corporation. Currently I’m a Commercial Banking VP for a Fortune 100 financial institution focused on automotive sales research and strategy for North America.

Personally, I’m a hipster mom of two and a chill wife (to my very own Mr. Darcy). A Bibliophile who reads at least two books a month. When I’m not in the office, I volunteer with Black Girls Code, tell stories with photography, speak publicly to anyone who will listen, and live tweet my favorite shows. Just because I am a bit of an overachiever, I also founded successful natural hair and living community: Sisterlocked.com.
