My name is Samantha Barczak, I moved to Madison recently after living abroad in Australia and New Zealand for a number of years. Before moving I attended the University of Iowa where I pursued a degree in Social Studies Secondary Education and Sociology. Alongside teaching I have also worked for many years as a sommelier and restaurant manager within the hospitality industry and as a personal trainer. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, hiking, running, doing yoga and spending time with family and friends.
