Sam founded SLS 360 in 2021 after 20 years working in the Cultural Arts & Music Education sector. Her research explores the inequality and disparity which exists in the sector and highlighted a need to take action.

Having spent most of her working life as the only one or one of few leaders in this sector, driven by a desire for change, she now uses her voice, knowledge and expertise, together with a team of associates, to challenge and support organisations take action to affect meaningful change in the field of Equity, Diversity and Inclusion.
