After her gymnastics career ended, Sam went on to achieve a Bachelor’s Degree in Journalism and Communications at Oklahoma State University. During her studies at OSU she was a member of the cheerleading squad where she won nationals in 2014.

For her final semester of uni, Sam took advantage of the study abroad program where she spent semester 2 of 2017 at Murdoch University in Perth. During her first week at Murdoch she met her partner, Ben, and they have been together ever since.
