Samantha Garretto

Just your average craft-doing, rap-writing, college grad with a knack for taking something dull and lifeless and making it extraordinary.

My adventure has taken me from the 'burbs of Chicago to the city of Minneapolis to the island of Sicily, with a few stops here and there along the way. I'm a Public Relations major from the University of Minnesota with an Italian minor and a background in law. Random, I know. But that's what makes me a well-rounded go-getter with big ideas and a dedicated mind. I get the greatest satisfaction from solving a long problem and I'm not afraid to admit my mistakes or ask for help when I need it.

Love for black and white photography, music, all things Italy, and a heaping plate of my Granny's mashed potatoes. Seriously, they are to die for.

Bottom line? Aspiring journalism professional ready to break into a field where passion is a prerequisite, collaboration is a must, and creativity has no bounds.
