They say that “necessity is the mother of invention”. That has certainly been true for Future Patriot Samantha Katen ’24. Samantha saw the need for protective masks and got creative to fill that need. While at home, she has sewn masks using leftover upholstery fabric. After the elastic she was using for ear pieces ran out, Samantha repurposed hair ties to complete the job. Samantha’s creativity and drive to help others will make her an outstanding addition to the JC family!
