Hands-On Workshop on
Creating Content Using Canva
Presenter-Samantha Ann
**Please note this meeting will be taking place at the Clara Barton branch of the library!***
Bring your laptops and phones for this hands-on interactive workshop on creating social media content using Canva. Amazon bestselling author Samantha Ann will guide you through the basics and more so that you can create engaging content to help you boost your social media presence.
About the Presenter: Samantha Ann – Born, raised, and still living in New Jersey, Samantha Ann started writing in the fifth grade out of boredom. At first, it was your run-of-the-mill journal entries but soon became stories of things she wished she had said or done, and soon simply stories about other characters and creatures. Samantha thanks her mother forever for the creative writing gene as her mother is a New York Times Best-Selling author. Samantha is half Cuban (mother) and half Italian (father) but speaks more Korean than either of the languages her parents desperately tried to teach her growing up. Samantha created the Korean from Context website and the Seoul Searching novel that were featured on the Forbes magazine blog as being a fun new way to learn Korean. Samantha has amassed over 20k TikTok followers in just over a year using fun creative ways to promote herself and her books Seoul Searching, Matching Set, and Her Ult. When not writing, editing, photographing, creating TikToks, Instagram posts, and Tweets, Samantha is an EDI Specialist for a kids’ clothing company. You can find Samantha at www.koreanfromcontext.com.

Keynote Presenter
Christine Gunderson
Amazon Bestselling Author
Christine Gunderson grew up on a fourth-generation family farm in rural North Dakota where she read Laura Ingalls Wilder books in her very own little house on the prairie.
She’s a former television anchor and reporter and former Capitol Hill press secretary. She currently lives in the Washington D.C. suburbs with her three children, Star the Wonder Dog, and a very patient husband.
When not writing, she’s sailing the Chesapeake Bay with her family, playing Star Wars monopoly, re-reading Jane Austen novels in the school pick up line or unloading the dishwasher.
Her debut novel, Friends with Secrets was selected as an Amazon First Reads pick. Readers call it “a timeless, beautiful, relevant, laugh-out-loud, funny homage to motherhood.”
