So much so that she used the money from a part time job at McDonalds to buy her first horse when she was just 16 years old! She is a huge fan of horses and has experience working at a stable that cares for former racehorses once they retire.  She has recently moved home with her fiancé but only after some serious travel. Her highlights were Kruger National Park, seeing a friend get married on the beach at San Lameer and everything about New Zealand. Sam lists some of her key achievements as: - Worked at Pakiri Beach horse riding – something that is classed in the top 100 things to do before you die - Has completed two long-distance charity walks for Alzeihmers in memory of her Grandad - Did a skydive in the Bay of Islands in New Zealand – there are worse places to jump out of a plane!   [![DOWNLOAD THE BUSINESS CHANGE SALARY GUIDE](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/8110437/e52bbe0d-2d2b-4094-b455-abd3592f0d12.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/8110437/e52bbe0d-2d2b-4094-b455-abd3592f0d12)   ![Sam in new Zealand](https://f.hubspotusercontent30.net/hub/8110437/hubfs/Photos/Sam%20in%20new%20Zealand.jpg?width=600&height=600&length=600&upscale=true&name=Sam%20in%20new%20Zealand.jpg) ![Sam McWilliam horse riding](https://f.hubspotusercontent30.net/hub/8110437/hubfs/Photos/Sam-Horse-Riding.jpg?width=600&height=600&length=600&upscale=true&name=Sam-Horse-Riding.jpg) ![Sam Skydive](https://f.hubspotusercontent30.net/hub/8110437/hubfs/Photos/Sam%20Skydive.jpg?width=600&height=600&length=600&upscale=true&name=Sam%20Skydive.jpg) > I have found Sam to be a **fantastic Recruitment Consultant**.
