Sam is both bright and eager! She is a breath of fresh air to work with on projects.
Sam’s creativity and flair for originality is a huge asset. I worked with Sam on various projects and she continually pushes the boundaries, brings new ideas to the fore and most importantly is a professional at all times. I was particularly impressed by Sam’s ability to bring people together.
Sam takes initiative and works quickly and effectively. Her ability to write, design, communicate and influence is excellent.
