Street Style: Samantha Tricoli

Sam is one of those people that I love to bump into in Old Town. From her genuine smile to her ability to have great conversations with anybody, she has always been one of my favorite Junior Friends to volunteer with. She has an amazing warmth to her personality that you see the very first time you meet her. So, when I got the opportunity to work with her as a co-chair of the Scottish Christmas Walk Weekend for the Campagna Center, I was excited to get to know her better, but also just looked forward to spending time with someone who is so positive and upbeat. This made us a great duo for the Walk!

She is adventurous, sporty, and loves to travel. It's so nice to be able to talk to someone who is always on an adventure. This part of her personality guides a unique sense of style that is playful, fearless, and fun. I love to see her amazing outfits! But really, her outfits are merely showcasing a radiance that comes from who she is deep inside.

By the end of the Taste of Scotland and the Scottish Christmas Walk, we had spent countless hours together. I can’t even tell you how many emails we probably sent to each other during this time. But, I will be able to tell you that Sam is an incredible can-do person, who has spent countless hours outside her normal job with Bonaventure to put on an event that raised crucial funding to support the more than 2,000 children and families served daily by the Campagna Center. Her commitment to her community and service to others is inspiring. I have been so glad to get to spend more time with her, and I am so glad to get to write about her now. So, meet Samantha Tricoli, Chair of the Scottish Christmas Walk Weekend for the Junior Friends of the Campagna Center.
