Employee Spotlight: Samantha Fraser

Holly-spotlight (3)

Employee Spotlight is a blog series meant to offer an inside look at our company culture and, most importantly, highlight the talented individuals who help make our company special. From accountants and software implementation specialists to operations, marketing, and HR professionals, get to know the people behind Chazin.  

Today, we are getting to know Samantha, our Marketing Partnership Coordinator. Samantha is based out of Virginia and has been with Chazin since 2023. Let's learn more about her:

1. What's your role at Chazin?

I am the Marketing Partner Coordinator, which means I focus on Chazin's partnerships with the ultimate goal of spreading brand awareness, sharing resources, generating leads, and creating a symbiotic relationship! I worked on a marketing team in the nonprofit space previously and am so happy to be back in a role that supports that community!

2. What's the most rewarding part about your job?

I love the outward-facing partner conversations and getting to marry my Business Development skills with my marketing skills! It is also really rewarding to know I am giving back to the community by spreading our network and providing resources.

3. What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

I hate this question; it always reminds me that my hobbies are lame LOL. I spend time with my family, and we love exploring and doing different things and including our dog pack if possible! 

4. What's your favorite volunteer activity?

I volunteer with a local group called FACETS, which provides services to homeless people and helps them get back on their feet and into housing. My favorite activity they sponsor is "Hypothermia Week," which consists of a large number of different denominational churches coming together and offering up their common space overnight for a week. FACETS utilizes volunteers to provide dinner and snacks, to staff the space overnight, and to provide a safe place for people to get out of the cold, have a hot nutritional meal, and sleep peacefully! 

My husband and I also foster dogs through Wolf Trap Animal Rescue! We now only take puppies in pairs of two because our first attempt at a sweet two-year-old (Cheese) was a total win, and he ended up joining our family! 

5. Please share any exciting news or a fun fact about yourself:

Ugh. Honestly, I am kind of boring! My daughter just took her first steps! That was exciting! Christmas was amazing this year! My daughter finally understood the idea of opening presents and got progressively more excited as the holidays went on! It was magical and what my dreams were made of!!
