Her supervisors and fellow AnaVators have played a crucial role in her success by providing guidance, feedback, and encouragement. She particularly looks up to her manager as a mentor, “Her leadership, guidance, and approach to problem-solving have been a great source of inspiration for me,” Sam adds.

Her favorite way to spend an evening after work by relaxing at home and enjoying her downtime with her family and dog. One tradition that she looks forward to is an annual family ski trip with her husband and son. “Every year, we pick a different resort to visit, and it’s something we all look forward to as a special way to bond,” she says.
