Sam has always had a passion for animals and medicine, so becoming a Veterinary Technician was an easy decision for her. In 2013, she received her Veterinary Technician diploma from Northern College and became a fully Registered Veterinary Technician soon after graduating. Not quite finished with schooling yet, she decided to complete the Companion Animal Physical Rehabilitation program at Northern College in 2014. From there, she entered the work force as a small animal RVT with a dabbling of rehab here and there. She came to really love building lasting relationships with her rehab patients and their people. She saw how much of an impact rehab can make in the lives of her patients and the happiness it brought their owners seeing their loved ones comfortable and walking again. Wanting to pursue this connection further, she completed her CCRP at the University of Tennessee in 2018. She has been exclusively doing rehab since 2019. Always looking to stay current in the latest research and treatment recommendations, she finished her CCMT certification from North Carolina State University in 2023. 

When not working, she enjoys scuba diving with her husband, sewing, and reading a good book with her lap cat, Sabre keeping her company.
