SAMANTHA MCCAIN, APR

Samantha McCain, APR is an accredited public relations professional and has lived in the Hub City since 2005, where she began her journey at Southern Miss. After graduating with two degrees from her alma mater, she ventured out into the working world – spending time at the Red Cross of Mississippi, Hattiesburg Clinic, and an award-winning advertising agency, The Focus Group. 
 
Recently, she decided to leave the hustle and bustle of agency life to spend time with some pretty amazing children. She now serves as the communications coordinator at The Children's Center for Communication and Development and handles all day-to-day public relations duties, promotion of events, grant writing, and other duties as assigned – which can sometimes mean holding a hand or playing on the playground! 
 
In addition to her daily job responsibilities, she is actively involved in the community and serves on several local and statewide boards. Samantha also writes a biweekly column for The Hattiesburg Post and is a sought-after speaker for the marketing and public relations industry.
