ACTING CREDITS: Bob’s Your Elf (Pine Tree Players)

OF INTEREST: Samantha is originally from Italy and fell in love with the Rockies where she met with her Italian husband — right here in Canmore, which she’s proudly called home since 2016. She’s passionate about skiing, mountain biking, and hot yoga. And of course, she can’t resist a good gelato or a warm slice of apple cake. She recently joined Pine Tree Players, discovering in this new adventure a beautiful way to heal and nourish her soul. She’s excited (and just a little nervous!) about her very first performance. If you see her around town, don’t be shy — say ciao!
