Samantha Murphy has been playing violin since she was eight but has always had a wide range of interests, which led her to pursue a career as a land use planner. She has lived in five provinces, as well as a brief stint in Scotland. Samantha returned to PEI in 2001 to begin her work as a planner and left the public sector in 2020 to embark on a self-employment adventure. She is often found doodling when she should be practicing!
