About Me
Samantha McKibben
I was born and raised in Chicago, IL. I graduated summa cum laude from DePaul University with a BA in digital marketing. Also, I was on the D1 Women's Soccer team. I continued both my athletic and academic career at Washington University in St. Louis where I am pursuing my MBA. Outside of school, work, and soccer, I have a wide variety of interests and passions.
Personal Interests
Outside of work, here are some of my other passions.
Soccer
I've been playing since I was 3, competed at DePaul and WashU, and also train youth players. National Champion 2024!
Baking
One of my favorite past times is trying out new recipes. The process is both challenging and relaxing for me.
Community Service
I volunteer with Care for Friends, Paws, and Safe Families, Well of Mercy, and am co-president of Olin Cares at WashU.
Running
I’ve completed a few half marathons and aim to run a full marathon. It keeps me on track and focused on a big goal.
Reading
"The love of learning, the sequestered nooks, and all the sweet serenity of books." - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
Global Citizen
I love exploring new cultures, trying new experiences, and discovering new places. I've learned a lot from each journey.
