Samantha's experience includes working at WBAL-TV in Baltimore, MD, WSIL-TV in the Cape Girardeau, MO-Paducah, KY-Harrisburg, IL market, and WKAG-TV in Hopkinsville, KY. In addition to providing weekly forecasts, her duties included science and entertainment reporting.

Samantha's hometown is what initially got her interested in weather. She is originally from Rochester, NY, where an average winter could result in over 90" of snow! Lake effect snow started her interest in meteorology. That passion further developed in the summer of 1992, the year of one of Florida's most devastating hurricanes, Hurricane Andrew. Samantha was there and was part of the evacuation process. She saw firsthand the damage and devastation left behind by that powerful storm.
While not at work, Samantha enjoys playing tennis, reading, and trying out new restaurants.
