Samantha Ward, better known as Sam to her friends and colleagues, was born and raised in the beautiful bluegrass state of Kentucky. After graduating from Sacred Heart Academy in Louisville, she earned her college degree at University of Kentucky in Lexington with a degree in Learning Behavioral Disorders. While attending college, Sam began work in the hospitality industry as part of the team producing a large-scale Kentucky Derby event – and she was hooked after that! She was fortunate to produce events across the country for companies such as Rolling Stone Magazine, Barstool Sports, MLB.com, Doing Things Media, etc. In her spare time, Sam enjoys personal travel, especially internationally. In 2019, she accepted an English teaching position in Madrid, Spain where she worked for a year and has since traveled throughout Northern Europe, and most recently to Africa! Sam enjoys living a very active lifestyle and she loves being able to focus her high level of energy on invigorating projects.
