Kogod MBA’22 alumna Samantha Denham grew up just outside of Washington, DC. She says that politics are in her blood, which is true now more so than ever as she focuses on her current role as a press secretary for the US House of Representatives member from Texas’s 24th district, representative Beth Van Duyne’s office.
“As with any big life decision, there were countless variables that played into my decision to pursue an MBA at the Kogod School of Business,” says Denham. “The timing was right, so I went for it and became the first in my family to complete a graduate degree!”
Though Denham’s long-term goal is to work in international business and negotiation, her current position as a press secretary offers plenty of overlap and educational experiences that she can continue to build on outside the political sector.
