Samantha Tu

Samantha has been immersed in the restaurant business for as long as she can remember. With her father's side of the family owning restaurants, her love for hospitality and food developed at an early age. Growing up, she spent summers in Minnesota, where she would eagerly lend a hand in the family business, fostering her passion for the industry.

In 2016, Samantha took her first steps into the hospitality field, starting with a position in culinary at PayPal Park and working concessions at the San Jose Giants. Just a year later, she seized an opportunity to become the Suites Supervisor at Levi Stadium. However, in 2021, she decided to explore new horizons and joined the Warriors, where she became part of their victorious 2022 championship year.

Samantha pursued her academic aspirations and graduated from Cal Poly Pomona with a bachelor's degree in hospitality, specializing in special events. Her dedication and hard work paid off as she was promoted to the position of Suites Manager at Levi Stadium after completing her degree.

Throughout her career, Samantha has had the privilege of working on various notable events and experiencing diverse venues. From Taylor Swift concerts and the Arizona Diamondbacks' home opener to the World Baseball Classics and the esteemed "Big Game" at Cal Berkeley in 2022, she has gained valuable insights and expanded her professional repertoire.

Born and raised in Milpitas, Samantha's connection to the Bay Area runs deep. She cherishes her surroundings, embracing activities such as swimming, appreciating nature, and honing her culinary skills. Accompanying her on this journey is her beloved dog named Zuko.
