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.
