Samantha Aguilar biography

Samantha Aguilar
Audience Services Manager

Samantha comes to WT after earning an M.B.A. at DePaul University with concentrations in Leadership & Change Management and Entrepreneurship. Her career started with working for Fortune 500 companies in distribution operations management but when she realized that working in warehouses wasn’t inspiring an interest for coming to work every day, she decided to change course and begin working in an industry that she’s always had a passion for and that fosters more of a creative environment. Previously working in the WT Box Office as the Associate Box Office Manager, Sam experienced a great opportunity to use not only her logistics and operations experience but with the opening of the new theatre building, it allowed her to lean upon her MBA coursework and help to build and expand the department during a high-growth period in the company’s history. In her current role as Executive Assistant/Board Liaison, she is gaining an exciting opportunity to gain a holistic view of the organization and continue to broaden her involvement in the advancement of the company.
