With an AAS in accounting, a bachelors in business management, and a minor in management information systems, she became the KIPS full time manager in 2014 and then bought KIPS in 2016.
Samantha left for college 2014 and gained knowledge at Lone Mountain Gymnastics & Swim School where she learned what it was like to be a manager at a gym with over 1500 enrolled children, as well as, found her passion in a movement based preschool. All of which she brought back to KIPS when she returned in 2018.
