Samantha Walker
Community Engagement Specialist

Samantha holds a Fundraising Management Certificate from Durham College and has volunteered with numerous arts and animal-welfare nonprofit organizations. With a background in the music industry, she brings experience in creative marketing and special events, offering a fresh perspective on fundraising strategy – particularly in areas that emphasize community engagement and connection.
