Colleagues describe her as "Sam was a vital member of our Consultancy team at RY for over 2 years, latterly heading up our research and analytics function. During her time with us, Sam not only led a number of client engagements to successful outcomes, powered by the insights she was able to bring to our thinking., but also introduced a bunch of us to the power and the glory that is amazing data visualisations. I was renown for gushing on about how compelling I found Sam's work - her data-fuelled visualisations of how exactly she digested Game of Thrones over the first lockdown, or how her exercise goals were progressing were genuine works of art. When applying her skills to RY's world, everybody leant in and everybody wanted more of it. It was fantastic to see Sam progress in her time with us from being an introverted data-nerd to a confident and inspirational crusader for data analytics and visualisation. I fully expect Sam to be genuinely famous in her field before she hits 35." and "I had the pleasure of working with Sam at General Assembly delivering the Data Analytics course. Sam brings a great energy to her work and is open and willing to share her experience. Sam also brings a fascinating perspective on the analytics space which I admire greatly. Particularly areas of expertise are in data storytelling, visualisation and data ethics. I'd highly recommend having Sam on your team."
