Samantha Williams
Samantha grew up in a Navy family and spent her childhood in Japan and Virginia Beach, VA before attending Virginia Commonwealth University in Richmond. After college, she met her husband through mutual friends and moved to Oahu, Hawaii to be with him. They both decided to move to DC to be closer to his daughter in the DMV area. They now have two more kids (Malcolm & Juliet) and love exploring everything that makes DC family-friendly. Samantha loves traveling, crafting and biking with her family. She currently lives in Navy Yard, where they are living through a huge home renovation, and has found a love for home projects through HGTV COVID binge watching.
