Sam is mum to two young and spirited children, and tries her best to keep up with what’s ‘cool’ in the world of primary school. (Her kids may argue against her success with this!)

When not at work, Sam and her husband enjoy weekend adventures in the outdoors, and are often seen exploring Melbourne’s surrounds, with the kids in a Dutch cargo bike. The family dog, Pinot (Noir), also deserves a mention, providing infinite furry cuddles after the workday is done.
