ā€œNot only is she the glue that keeps me together, but she is always willing to help anyone on any team,ā€ said another co-worker. ā€œShe walks around the office to greets her co-workers every morning and afternoon just to make sure everyone is well. She is a fountain of knowledge on how to handle certain situations. When you need a shoulder to cry on, or just talk to, she is always there. Sheā€™s reliable, trustworthy and one of the hardest working people I know, and it inspires me daily to do my best.ā€

When asked about her most memorable day at Fleet Response, Sam replied, ā€œBeing offered the claims supervisor position, and getting the opportunity to work closer with Jessica Jeko and individual reps.ā€
