‘Eternal optimism’ is the phrase that comes to mind when I think about Samantha. I met Sam in Fall 2024 when she was enrolled in my Integrated Business Foundations course in the Integrated Business major at UCF. In the Spring she was selected to become one of the founding associates of the Integrated Business Professional Association, for which I am the advisor. I’m particularly impressed with her persistence and positive mindset. She is eager to learn and master new skills, taking any failure as a new opportunity for development. Sam will be an asset to any team she leads or project on which she works.
