COZY ENTHUSIAST
Hi, I'm Samantha! I like to describe myself as a modern day Carrie Bradshaw in a corporate world. In between checking things off my to do list, responding to emails, and maintaining my apartment, I write. I've always loved writing, I found it quite cathartic. When I was working as a makeup artist, I found a lot of my clients asking very similar questions, "what are your favorite products," or "which product goes on first?" I decided, why not curate a place for all these FAQ's to be stored, from my tone - so in 2018 I created a website, and began sharing it with my clients. From there, blogging became a hobby of mine, and something I was always inspired to do, because writing came easy.
In 2022, I had joined a platform Geneva. I had an idea to create a group within Geneva, for women in business, looking to curate friendships, discuss career goals, wellness, and even guilty pleasures, such as Real Housewives - and that, is how Out of Office Social Circle was born. A community I founded of likeminded women, outside of the office.
In conclusion, I'm an esthetician, turned insurance agent with a love for writing.


Nice to meet you
We all have a story
WELL, HERE IS MINE.
Growing up in New York, I was fortunate enough to attend Makeup Designory, and graduated their MultiMedia Program. After graduating, I became a freelance artist. I still remember my first fashion week and how magical that all felt! I worked for private clients, NYFW, bridal parties, and any glamorous event that allowed me to make someone feel beautiful. I became a captive artist for two brands, Laura Geller Beauty, and NARS. Working for those two brands, and being a part of the product launches, new artistry inspiration, and meeting new clients was always something I valued so much, but I knew there was meant to be something more.
So I went on to get my esthetics license. I graduated from Christine Valmy, and passed my esthetics exam making me a licensed esthetician. Upon graduating, I continued to practice in my field freelancing.
Until, COVID, which flatlined my industry. With that, a new door opened, and a new chapter began!
xo, Samantha
EST. 1998

A 9 to 5 corporate life was never something I imagined myself doing, let alone enjoying, but needless to say, I enjoy the structure of my job, and helping clients is the reason I do what I do! However, it was quite a pivot from what I knew. As of writing this, I've been in the industry for two years, and within those two years I have truly grown. My knowledge is far more vast, I have my own book of clients, and I've obtained licensing from New York, New Jersey, and Tennessee. With that being said, I'm your girl to go to for insurance!
WELCOME TO THE MY LITTLE SPACE IN THE WORLD WIDE WEB. I'M SO GLAD YOU'RE HERE!
