Since making the big move to the West Coast, Sam lives + breathes adventure and lives life to its fullest.

Throughout her various positions within the health and wellness industry after graduating with a degree in Kinesiology, it occurred to Sam that she could combine her passion of helping others with her knack for marketing and administration. Pairing her expertise with Paige's, the sisters created Assist-her and used their creativity and motivation to grow the business into a thriving virtual assistant agency.
