Samantha's conservative activism began at the University of Colorado where she was Vice President and Director of Communications for the College Republicans, and participated in a grassroots campaign for a local Republican congressman. In her free time, she attended the Republican Jewish Coalition Conference and was a student delegate at AIPAC. These experiences inspired Samantha to move to Israel, where she volunteered to join the Israel Defense Forces serving in the IDF Spokesperson’s Unit responsible for domestic and foreign information policy. Today, Samatha works for a nonprofit that supports the IDF through various educational, welfare and mental health programs.
