His ability to collaborate cross-functionally and externally is extremely high and if he doesn't know how to do something, he will learn. He is curious and knows how to ask the right questions."

While working with Sam at Pepperdine Graziadio Business School, he thoroughly impressed me with his ability to manage many different social media and content projects at once. Sam exudes leadership potential, but thrives on a team, as well. I highly recommend Sam in any endeavor he embarks upon!
