Sam lives by the mantra, "Allow your career to be your passion so it never feels like work." Cooking and leading the culinary team at Driftwood Recovery is Sam's passion. Sam brings a great energy to the culinary team, as well as, every individual that passes through their kitchen.

Sam lives for opportunities to help others become excited about cooking for themselves, which she feels she can do while at Driftwood. Sam became a chef in 2019 and has since received awards such as; 2020 Whim Hospitality Employee of the Year, and was the recipient of the Heart of Hospitality Scholarship in 2021.

When Sam is not cooking for the Driftwood community, she enjoys spending time at arcades and going to the movies.
