ONE MINUTE WITH SAMANTHA:

WUMCRC: “What do you think is the single most influential thing that brought you to work at WUMCRC?”

SAMANTHA: “WUMCRC has a very “homey” feeling atmosphere. You can tell when you walk through the door that everyone here enjoys what they do and they welcome new comers with open arms. I feel that I will have the opportunity to grow here and get plenty of hands on, real life experience while also being able to apply what I have learned in the classroom to real-life situations. 

WUMCRC: “What do you enjoy most about living in St. Louis?”

SAMANTHA: “I love the diversity of people here. St. Louis is a melting pot of people where different ethnicity and background make us unique. You don’t really see that in Iowa and I love that about this city.”

WUMCRC: “What is your favorite food and why?”

SAMANTHA: “Cheese Enchiladas with red sauce. They are delicious!”
