After graduating college, Sam spent 2 years as a resident artist at The Arts Project gallery in her hometown of London, where she was fortunate to complete several commissions, hold exhibitions and earn grants. In 2012, having never traveled, seen the ocean or been on a plane, Sam moved her life and studio to the Dominican Republic. While exploring the island she discovered kitesurfing and took lessons in Cabarete, a small town on the north coast. Sam was a slow learner but after a few months of practice, tricks started coming naturally to her as a result of her snowboarding background. Within 2 years of kiting in Cabarete, she was offered her first sponsorship by Star Kiteboarding and started traveling to exotic locations for competitions.
