Samantha Najera is an actress, producer, writer, and video content creator from San Antonio, Texas.
She has over 17 years of experience working in radio, TV, and film, all-encompassing the marketing and communications industry. While earning her degree in Communications from the University of the Incarnate Word, she was blessed with the opportunity to intern for Turner Studios in Atlanta, GA.
During her internship, she learned the many facets of television production by serving as a production assistant on various sets including TBS's "Movie and a Makeover," "Dinner & A Movie," and Cartoon Network's "Cartoon Fridays." After graduating from college, she worked as a production assistant for San Antonio's ABC Affiliate KSAT 12 News where she learned how to shoot, edit, assistant direct, and most importantly: how to write and create stories for television.
Her ability to multitask under tight deadlines allowed her to create her own newsreel that landed her a job as a news reporter for ABC 40 News in College Station, TX. As a one-man-band reporter, she shot, edited, and produced multiple stories on a daily basis. In November 2012, Samantha launched her own Creative Marketing & Public Relations firm in San Antonio, HeartFire Media LLC, where she enjoys being a part of the creative process and launching successful video content that made an impact on the community.
In 2017, Samantha and Nina Duran created a live streamed web show called "Bean & Chisme" that educates and entertains the Latino market. The show has quickly grown in popularity, with several of their videos going viral that include their alter-ego characters "Lil' Chismosa and Lil' Frijolita."
