Samantha Theam

I’m from the West Seattle area. I started at South Seattle College in 2014 as a Running Start student and then transferred to the University of Washington where I earned my B.A. in Public Health. I was inspired to become a Benefits Hub Coach because I wanted to give back to the community that helped me grow the most. If I were to give any advice to current South students, I would encourage them to find community on campus, even if that means stepping out of their comfort zone. So make lots of friends while you’re here! In addition to helping students with their FAFSA, WASFA, and financial aid applications, I enjoy thrift shopping in my spare time.
