Samantha Marshall Carpenter has been a communications and public relations specialist for close to two decades. A graduate of the University of Pennsylvania's Annenberg School for Communications, Samantha cut her teeth in the industry with a formidable early career in personal publicity, representing top talent in the entertainment space - actors, producers, and screenwriters. Upon completing the Institute of Culinary Education’s NYC program in Culinary Management, Samantha shifted her focus to the realm of hospitality, devising and facilitating a wide range of strategic communications campaigns for individual chefs, independent restaurants, hospitality groups, hotels, and travel destinations. She most recently added entities in the wine, craft beverage, consumer packaged goods, and retail spaces to her repertoire.
Samantha, who was born and raised in San Diego, returned to California in 2017 after almost 15 years on the east coast. She now lives in Sonoma County with her husband, their toddler, and their ever-growing pack of dogs.
