Samantha Post’s journey took her from Ellwood City to Washington D.C. and back to Pittsburgh. After working for several years in the public health sector, she realized that she wasn’t experiencing the sense of purpose or meaning that she wanted in a career. She grew tired of working for employers that didn’t seem to value her extra effort and dedication. As she reflected on her circumstances, Samantha realized that she was appreciated and her voice mattered when she worked in the family business. In 2013, she returned home with renewed energy and optimism and rejoined her family at T&M Hardware & Rental.
