Samantha is pursuing her BA at GW in English and Women Studies with a minor in Creative Writing. Her favorite books are Pride and Prejudice and Daddy’s Little Girl.  One day she hopes to write her own novel, but for now she is enjoying her fiction classes and is very excited to work with Professor Faye Moskowitz on the Jewish Literature Live program for the spring, in addition to her work here as Communications Liaison.
