Born and raised in Piedmont, Oklahoma, Sammi began dancing at the age of three and trained at various dance studios throughout the Oklahoma City area. After high school, she moved to Wichita, Kansas, where she spent two years studying under Stan and Sharon Rogers, deepening her foundation in classical ballet.

Sammi went on to dance with Oklahoma City Ballet for four seasons under the direction of Robert Mills and Ryan Nye. In addition to her ballet training, she is trained in Balanced Body Pilates, which has enhanced her understanding of alignment, strength, and mindful movement.

New to Colorado Springs, Sammi is excited to be part of the CBS community. Outside of the studio, she enjoys reading, hiking, traveling, and she loves spending time with her husband and their two cats.
