Samantha Wong | LinkedIn

Samantha (Sammy) is from Redwood City, California. She is currently a sophomore at Georgetown University, pursuing her degree in Computer Science and Economics. She is an Analyst with Georgetown Student Capital Partners, focusing on Venture Capital organizations, and a member of The Hoya newspaper team. Outside of school, Sammy is a member of the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL) and a proud recipient of both local and national scholarships awarded by the organization.

Why I Joined

Sammy received her Congressional Gold Medal in June 2019, and is grateful for the life lessons, experiences, and people she met through the Award Program. She is excited to have the opportunity to give back to the organization that inspired her to become involved in her community from a young age and taught her the value of maintaining balance in life. 

Program Highlight Area

One of Sammy’s personal development goals was to improve her cooking skills. Over the course of earning the Award, Sammy learned how to make traditional Japanese food from her grandparents, which allowed her to become more comfortable in the kitchen and connect to her heritage. Sammy enjoys learning about different cultures and cuisines, and trying new recipes and food.
