Bio
Boby Yazdi
I have had the pleasure of working with Sam in the same Foundations of Commerce team. Through working with Sam on projects relating to Marketing, Strategy, and Entrepreneurship, I have been inspired by his dedication, motivation, and impressive scope of knowledge in all matters business. I have no doubt that Sam has an incredibly bright professional and academic career ahead of him, and I can’t wait to see all he accomplishes!

I met Sam through pledging the Alpha Kappa Psi professional business fraternity, and he is one of the most motivated diligent, and friendly colleagues I have had the pleasure of meeting at the University of Virginia. Across the various assignments we have collaborated on, Sam never fails to take initiative and lead projects in any way he can. Furthermore, he takes the time to reach out and offer help in any way possible and also ensures that his colleagues are doing well. Sam being the goal-oriented person he is, never loses track of any important benchmarks or deliverables for a project and strives to constantly hone his skills throughout the process. I cannot recommend Sam enough for any future roles he is a candidate for!
