“Engaging with individuals from diverse backgrounds and disciplines energizes me,” says Sam. “I thrive on discovering common ground and fostering connections.” Sam calls her role in business development "a stroke of luck." She originally pursued a degree in graphic design before realizing she’d rather leverage her creative talents in a more marketing-oriented role. Sam’s upbringing made an impression, too. Frequent moves for her dad’s job “became a defining aspect of my childhood,” she recalls. “Constantly adapting to new schools and social circles honed my ability to navigate unfamiliar situations and forge connections effortlessly—qualities that have become invaluable assets in my career.” Today with a family of her own, Sam eagerly anticipates sharing the joy of travel with her growing children, just as she and her husband have cherished. At the top of their wish list:  "The Nordic countries, with their stunning landscapes and rich history."
