SAMANTHA RILEY

 

Samantha Riley joined Social T Marketing & PR in June 2022 as a full-time content manager. A Quakertown, PA native, her interest in writing began at an early age, eventually leading her to become the professional content writer she is today. She greatly appreciates storytelling and is passionate about putting thoughts and events onto paper. Samantha is excited to continue to grow in her abilities and write engaging, enjoyable content for clients throughout the Lehigh Valley. 

Samantha attended Moravian University, earning a bachelor’s degree in English with a writing arts concentration in 2021. For most of her college career, she served as a copy editor for the Moravian student newspaper, The Comenian, before advancing to editor-in-chief in her senior year. That same year, she was the first-place recipient of the Writing at Moravian award for non-fiction writing and an honorable mention in the 2021 Student Keystone Media Awards for her video essay “In My Room.”

Outside of writing, Samantha greatly loves and appreciates the arts, primarily printmaking and artistic processes like screenprinting, etching, woodcutting, and linocut. In addition to her studies, she spent most of her time in her university’s art department, creating her own pieces and co-teaching screen printing, printmaking, and studio art classes. Now, in her free time, she works as a studio assistant for post-war and contemporary artist Douglas Zucco.
