Woman of the Month | Celebrate Sisterhood

congratulations to Samantha Porter!

Meet our Woman of the Month.

Samantha is on her stuff. Her latest endeavor is going back to school to get her third degree. On top of that, she is an elementary school counselor.

She has gone so far in pursuing her education and career and has never stopped or let anything get in her way. That is so inspiring to me! ■
