Dustin Gouner
I had the privilege of working with Sam on a paired and a group project during Mod 3 of Turing. Sam's contribution was exceptional, especially when it came to tackling the challenge of implementing a carousel in React, an unfamiliar feature for both of us. Her expertise and dedication were evident as she went above and beyond to ensure the success of the projects. Sam's energy and commitment to delivering the best results were truly inspiring. She consistently demonstrated a willingness to go the extra mile, creating a collaborative and motivating environment for the entire team. I highly recommend Sam for any future opportunities, as her technical proficiency, problem-solving skills, and genuine passion for excellence make her an invaluable asset. I have no doubt that she will continue to thrive and make significant contributions in her career.
