Samara Christhina is a first-gen Brazilian-American, and was the first in her family to go to (let alone graduate) college.

She started her first business running a marketing agency for local restaurants to help pay for school. She neverrrr considered sales as a career path, but is currently an Enterprise Account Manager at Forrester.

Her main focus is  building generational wealth  through real estate, stocks, crypto, business ventures, etc. If I can find a way to make my money work for her, rather than me working for money, she’s going to do it!

However, her greatest passion is taking all of the above and making it accessible to Latin@s so we can do what I mentioned earlier: build up our community.
