Testimonials.

Chris Guérette

CEO @ SK Realtors Association

Samantha has a strategic mindset and a sharp eye on her objectives. She has served on committees and boards on both sides of the table and weathered challenging scenarios such as an amalgamation, pandemic restrictions, and important advocacy files with key stakeholders. I can describe her as being not only resilient in the face of change, but courageous, which is a skill often overlooked.
