In her free time, she enjoys attending local festivals and shows with her family and friends. Also, Ms. Sammy enjoys local art and frequenting local thrift stores hunting for vintage pieces that hold historical or sentimental significance. She loves being outdoors and spending time in the various dog parks throughout Atlanta with her dog Moneypenny. On the weekend you may spot her at a coffeeshop/dog park combination location. She cannot wait to get back to these hobbies, when it is safe.

Ms. Sammy also enjoys taking risks and has ridden in the front row of the tallest roller coaster in the United States and jumped out of the Stratosphere hotel in Las Vegas! She is ready for any challenge thrown her way, including finding the best way to reach all students no matter where they are, who they are, or what their circumstance may be.
