She is always ready to jump in and help collaborate on any project and lifts our district up through celebration and by truly caring.” Get to know Holly in the Q&A below!
Q: How long have you been working for SAM?
A: This April will be two years that I have been with SAM!
Q: How did you come to be part of the team at SAM? What attracted you to this role and our company?
A: I came to be a part of the SAM team by persistence! Hey, the third time is a charm! There were two opportunities that became available but neither of those worked out. Once the position came back open, my district manager actually reached out to me to see if I was still interested, so I applied and have been a part of the team ever since. I actually knew nothing about storage before taking this position. I had a career in retail and just wanted something different. I still get the retail side of operations but in a mildly different way. I really just wanted a change and was fortunate enough to become a member of the SAM team!
Q: Outside of work, what hobbies or interests do you enjoy pursuing in your free time?
A: Outside of work, I coach middle school boys basketball as well as middle and high school softball. My son is a high school athlete, so I am usually at a ball game of some sort or practice if I am not in the office. My daughter birthed my first grandbaby in 2024 so that has been a new experience all in itself!
Q: Is there a memorable life lesson or piece of advice that has shaped your outlook or approach to life and work?
A: I have experienced a few life lessons while working here! Compassion and pride have played a big role in making me who I am today!
Q: Can you share a fun fact about yourself?
A: I earned a clowning degree while I was in middle school! I can still juggle!
Q: Is there anything else you’d like to share about yourself?
A: I have aspirations of becoming a children’s book author at some point in my life!
