Samantha Washburn, Entertainment Editor
Samantha Washburn is a 25-year-old female. She was born in Anaheim, CA but raised in Nashville, TN, and then moved to Fresno, CA in 2020. She is currently studying Journalism at Fresno City College, in hopes of making her way to the social media/digital side of journalism and pursuing something more professional. She got her influence from watching Erin Andrews report on so many different topics that she felt a desire to do something similar. She took a Photoshop class in high school that got her attention of wanting to do more and learn more in-depth lessons on Photoshop. She also has experience in different types of Microsoft apps, as well as google docs.
She became really close with one of her fifth-grade teachers and the teacher is now a second mom to her. Samantha has also, worked since she was 16 years old and has only ever worked in the food industry, so she knows all the ins and outs of restaurant life. She loves going to coffee places and trying drinks, but she is not a huge coffee drinker.
Samantha hopes that being a part of The Rampage will help expand for horizons on reporting and be able to get better and story writing and interviewing.
