Sam Handy first came to RIMTA as a student at Salve Regina in search of a summer job. Once the staff met Sam, they immediately recommended him for the new Marine Trades Marketing Summer Work-and-Learn Program—a six-week program for individuals ages 18-24 who are interested in water-based recreation, marketing, PR and communications. After completing the program, he stayed on as a RIMTA intern and a member of the Providence Boat Show team.
This summer, he will be full-time with RIMTA and will direct the summer marketing program for Millennials. Sam brings a fresh perspective, a tech-savvy nature and a ton of enthusiasm about the marine industry to the organization. He spent his summers growing up on the Cape but is now a Newport resident—and when you can’t find him around the water, you’ll find him skiing in the mountains of Maine.
