MEET Avery Sampson
Director of Human Resources
In 2018, Avery became a part of PLEXSYS, assuming the role of Human Resource Generalist situated at the company's headquarters in Camas, Washington. In recognition of years of devoted service to PLEXSYS' workforce, Avery advanced to the position of Director of Human Resources (HR) in 2022. Her academic qualifications include a bachelor's degree in Personnel Psychology and Human Resource Management, as well as a master’s in Business Administration, both earned from Washington State University.
Before joining PLEXSYS, Avery spent six years working in HR for a mid-sized manufacturing company, gaining a wide range of experience in all aspects of Human Resources that she could bring to PLEXSYS.
As Avery shifted industries, she discovered PLEXSYS and the products the company creates for various customers worldwide.
“While I am not former military, I was drawn to PLEXSYS’ mission of supporting the Warfighter and excited by the products and services we create.”
Since joining the company, Avery says she enjoys the benefits PLEXSYS provides its employees, as well as ensuring other employees are receiving the best options available.
“PLEXSYS offers many great benefits, from flexible work options, professional development, education reimbursement options, and volunteer time off. I have taken advantage of many of these great benefit options that help me continue to grow in my professional career while also pursuing things I am passionate about outside of work. One of the more unique aspects of PLEXSYS is that we are an ESOP; being an employee-owned business helps to create an exceptionally collaborative environment.”
Avery is an avid outdoor and equine enthusiast. When away from work, she enjoys traveling to national parks, riding and racing with her horse named Fred, spending time with her family, and running.
