This month we are excited to feature Sam Miller, an Instructional Design Specialist on Team Glick.

Sam has been with Glick for almost four years, and for her, one of the main reasons she enjoys being with Glick is the people! She said Glick's team members are dedicated, passionate, and driven by Glick’s mission. When we had the chance to ask her about what she loves most about her job, it was clear that Sam values her impact on her teams’ and residents’ lives.

“I love being able to creatively solve problems and serve as a resource for others by providing tools, support, and guidance through training and development. It’s incredibly rewarding to help others feel empowered with the knowledge and skills they need to thrive in their roles.”

Team Glick is a driving factor in Sam’s everyday role and purpose. Each person she has worked with, no matter the capacity, has taught her something invaluable and influenced her journey. When she thinks of those who have had a substantial impact on her, she names a few mentors: Ben Grande, Julie Doss, Jessica Moore and Janine Betsey.

“This year, I've been learning from Janine Betsey, whose knowledge about tax credits and affordable housing preservation has been invaluable. Having the chance to learn from mentors like Jessica, Ben, Julie, and Janine is one of the most meaningful parts of my growth at Glick – and I’m incredibly grateful for their generosity, wisdom, and support.”

Sam has made many great memories during her time with Glick, including the opportunity to mentor two Glick’s work-study high school students.

“Throughout the year, I was able to share my knowledge of graphic design, design principles, and tools like Adobe Illustrator and Canva. I guided each student through the creation of real deliverables. One notable project requested a student to design a cover for a notebook. A moment that will stick with me forever was presenting them with the physical notebook that they created. Seeing his face light up with pride was truly unforgettable!”

Outside of work, Sam enjoys running, endurance sports, painting, reading, and practicing yoga. Currently, she is training for her eighth full marathon in October 2025 in Hartford, CT. Her goal is to run a full marathon in all 50 states- seeing the country 26.2 miles at a time!

Sam, we thank you for your dedication and for being an inspirational team member. Keep up the good work – Team Glick is fortunate to have you!
