I have had the pleasure of knowing Samantha for over 10 years after we connected in the FLLA fellowship program. Throughout our friendship, Samantha has consistently demonstrated her exceptional leadership and managerial skills, coupled with her empathetic and charismatic personality. She possesses the unique ability to build coalitions and quickly identify and optimize business strategies. Samantha's dedication to her craft and her passion for learning from others' perspectives are evident in her work. I have witnessed firsthand her assertiveness and momentum in meetings, and it is clear that she is a powerful decision-maker and an influential communicator. It is without hesitation that I offer my highest recommendation for Samantha, as she is an exceptional leader who easily earns the respect and admiration of her colleagues.

It has been fantastic to work with Sam. She has served as a stellar Teaching Assistant for both undergraduate and graduate courses, as well as provided important feedback on business cases and curriculum. Her course management, content and program insights, and ability to engage with and guide students were critical to the success of the courses that we worked on together.
