Bio
Judye Parent
Sam was my colleague at the Bel-Air Bay Club for over 5 years. Aside from her gift for photography, Sam has an innate skill of unifying differing viewpoints by influencing others with her keen sense of observation. She is able to see through the political ‘muck’ to develop strategies and organize teams to meet the sometimes conflicting needs and demands of the customer. Often I was witness to her ability to explain and direct attention to the often unseen and unacknowledged needs. She is an excellent mentor and teacher. I know she was a God send to me when I on-boarded as a reliable resource in navigating my role. I still seek her wise counsel.

Sam is a true Comms professional. Not only is she extremely knowledgeable of the Club and Communications industry, she is diligent about her work production, capabilities and quality of work. As a colleague + friend, I highly recommend Sam.
