Ellen Smith
I am forever grateful and fortunate to have worked with Sammie during my first in-house legal position. In a small legal team, Sammie was always our go-to resource to jump in and execute on any new project that came our way. Her ability to focus on the issue of the day and adapt to any new regulatory or legal challenge by digging in, researching and embracing the opportunity to mitigate risk made her a valuable member of the team and an invaluable partner to me. Her project management skills, creative thinking and technical knowledge are top rate. What truly sets Sammie apart though is her engaging, outgoing personality. It doesn’t take her long to know everyone in the room, making everyone feel comfortable and important, from the C-suite to the operational staff and everyone in between. Sammie’s dedication and loyalty to her responsibilities and accountabilities will make her a valuable addition to any organization.

I had the opportunity of working with Sammie making community connections supporting adoptive families. Sammie and I attended joint meetings, sat on a planning committee, and participated in a family adoption day event. I greatly appreciated her feedback, enthusiasm and attention to detail. She is a likable person who understands and eagerly engages in the networking process with other business leaders and public officials. I would highly recommend Sammie to prospective employers!
