Boston-based Shopping Reporter, Samantha Mangino, covers all things tech at Mashable, rounding up the best products and deals. She’s covered commerce for three years, spending extensive time testing and reviewing all things home, including couches, steam irons, and washing machines. She thoroughly vets products and internet trends, finding out if those cozy gamer chairs are really as comfortable as TikTok claims.
She graduated from Emerson College with a B.S. in Journalism. Her work has been published at Reviewed, USA Today, and America’s Test Kitchen. Besides finding the best deals, she enjoys covering books, food, and pop culture.
When Samantha’s not typing away, you might find her on a walk, off to the movies, or in the kitchen trying a new recipe. But usually she’s just hanging out with her cat and watching reality tv.
