Today’s conversation is a little bit different and really important.

At the recent National Hurricane Conference, I had so many conversations with women who said, “I’m not a traditional emergency manager.” The truth is…if your work supports preparedness, response, coordination, systems, or people…you are part of this space. This is emergency management adjacent, and it matters.

We wanted to highlight Anastasia not only for her incredible career, but also as part of our team at Buffalo Computer Graphics. Supporting emergency management and the work that all of you do is just as critical as being on the front lines.

Anastasia is the Director of Contracts and Compliance at Buffalo Computer Graphics. Her career spans customer support, HR and training, nonprofit leadership, cyber-security, and operations…building a foundation rooted in communication, trust, and accountability.

Her path isn’t linear, and that’s exactly what makes it powerful. She’s built her career by showing up, adapting, and leading in spaces where people and process intersect every day.

Today's guest, Samantha Berman, is a senior emergency management planner at ChristianaCare. Samantha brings a refreshingly interdisciplinary lens to emergency management, blending anthropology, higher education, and humanitarian response. Her career reminds us that resilience isn't always a straight line. Sometimes it's built by asking better questions, working across cultures, and showing up when systems are tested.
