In her current role, Samantha oversees much of the day-to-day operations related to student transportation, acting as a liaison between drivers, aides, school boards of education, schools, and parents. She is responsible for managing transportation contracts through the completion of requests for proposals (RFPs), assisting the General Manager with various tasks, and handling billing and cost management.
What excites Samantha most about her work is knowing the services provided by CTS have a significant and positive impact on the students she helps transport. The most important aspect of her role is ensuring drivers and driver’s aides have the tools, resources, and support they need to perform their work safely and effectively.
Samantha’s background has shaped her dedication to this work. Raised by a parent who built an agency serving Individuals with developmental disabilities, she was taught from a young age the importance of respect, dignity, and the vital role services like transportation play in the daily lives of students. Growing up immersed in the field, Samantha always knew helping others was her true calling.
In addition to her work at CTS, Samantha is passionate about her personal goals, which include becoming a foster parent with her partner and furthering her education in Social and Human Services.
Dignity. Every human being deserves to be treated with dignity, everyone is worthy of respect and to feel a sense of pride in oneself.
My why is to contribute to the creation of a world where all individuals, regardless of their background, beliefs, identity, or other differences, feel safe and empowered to live their lives authentically. Each day, I am driven by the desire to advocate for and work toward a society that fosters equality, inclusion, and the freedom for everyone to thrive on their own terms.
My personal mission is to empower and uplift those I encounter, treating everyone with kindness and respect. By doing so, I hope to inspire others to carry that same spirit forward in their own lives, creating a ripple effect of compassion and positive influence.
