Introducing Sam: The Newest Member of the BVA Team!
We are thrilled to welcome Sam as the newest addition to the BVA Team, stepping into the role of Community Development Officer. Sam’s journey with BVA began last year when she volunteered and made significant contributions to various projects. Her dedication and passion for community development have now led her to join us full-time.
Sam brings a wealth of experience from her diverse career. After graduating from university, she started in the Dairy Industry, then transitioned into Sales, providing technical support for analytical laboratory equipment. Her career path then took her to Financial Services, where she excelled in a Service Management role for 18 years. Before joining BVA, Sam ran a dog boarding franchise, showcasing her entrepreneurial spirit.
Outside of work, Sam is an active member of a local amateur dramatic group, where she enjoys treading the boards. She also has a passion for cooking and baking, and to burn off the calories, she and her husband love exploring new walking routes with their dogs, using the local OS map to find interesting paths.
Fun Fact: As a child, Sam appeared as an extra in the film High Rise Donkey, starring Roy Kinnear. While the film may not be widely known, it was a memorable experience for her.
We are excited to have Sam on board and look forward to the positive impact she will bring to our community!
