Hello! My name is Samantha Carr, and I am the Program Manager for our Central and Western Massachusetts Centers! I am the first point of contact when you reach out to us, and I will work with you to get you connected to the right resources and folks to help you whether you are looking to start, launch or grow your business!

With a degree in Gender and Women’s Studies and Sociology from Connecticut College and an extensive background in social media and marketing, you will often receive promotions from me, and may even catch me as a presenter in one of our social media and marketing programs! I often do one-on-one consultations to support entrepreneurs looking to enhance their own marketing efforts. This is easily one of my favorite parts of my role because I get to connect with our clients.

I believe that empowered women empower women, and I love being part of an organization that truly embodies this mantra. When you get involved with CWE you are tapping into such a supportive group of women that will help you accomplish your goals. Entrepreneurship can be a lonely endeavor, but CWE let’s you realize you are not alone, and you have a whole community at your fingertips!

I am a New Hampshire native but moved to Massachusetts after graduating from college in 2015. I absolutely love Central and Western Massachusetts and have loved living here with my husband, daughter and rescue dog Gracie. If you don’t see me at CWE, you’ll often find me exploring the local trails of Massachusetts, listening to audio books or at a local coffee shop!
