About Me
Hello! I’m Samantha, and I have a deep passion for serving God, and it’s a true honor to be part of such a dedicated team that makes a difference in our community. My husband, Landon, and I have been living in Palatka for about a year now. In my free time, I love going for walks with him and our dog.
​
My Job
I cover content and design of our website and social media pages.
​
Where I've Been
I was born in New York and moved to Tampa at the age of 11. I went to college at Southeastern in Lakeland, then moved to Palatka after my husband and I got married.
​
My Salvation Story
I rededicated my life to Christ when I attended a youth conference as I realized I didn't want to live for myself anymore since God's plan is so much better than mine!
Favorite Bible Verse
There are so many powerful verses in the Bible, but one of my favorites is Psalm 73:26: “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” Whenever I face challenges, I remind myself that God is stronger than anything I might encounter. He is my provider and my savior, and as long as I have breath in my lungs, all the glory goes to Him!
Favorite Hope FM Song
Same God by Elevation Worship....but there are so many good ones!
​
Fun Fact
There are many things about me that people say are not typical qualities of someone my age! I like antiquing, listening to records, I love jazz, I go to bed early, and I don't like loud music.
When not at Hope FM, you’ll find me
Walking the Ravines or playing Pickleball with my husband, Landon. He's the worship pastor at Church of the Heights, where I help with media.
