Something About Samantha: Outside of my professional commitments, I maintain an active lifestyle. I enjoy tennis, squash, track sports, gym workouts, beach obstacle courses and attempting to surf! At the start of 2025, I discovered a new love for trail running while exploring the Cape’s Nature Reserves. I am deeply committed to my faith, family and friends, whilst striving to make a meaningful impact on everyone I treat.
