This is Samantha Postillion. Aspiring to be a professional golfer, she travels the country and/or world every summer to play golf tournaments against other college amateurs and professional players. Schoolwork is just as important to her, however, as she also strives to achieve A’s in all classes in pursuit of her Business Management (general) degree. Becoming a successful professional golfer on the LPGA is not an easy ordeal so she is preparing herself for the business world in case she needs to fall back on that field in the future as another source of income. Golf compliments her abilities in consulting as it has taught her great communication skills, patience, the ability to work long hours, concern/care for the community, and international exposure.
