Apprentice Candidates
Samantha Conroy is a secondary school teacher for the last 8 years.
Samantha took the university route and studied at Trinity College. She is mad about sports and works out regularly; in fact she classes it as her favourite stimulant. She describes herself as an extremely positive person, and gets a real kick when her students pull out all the stops and perform really well or they do something that just blows her away. Let's hope she blows viewers away on The Apprentice!
The Candidate Highs and Lows
What she brings to the table:
Her motto is 'pain is temporary... but pride is forever'
Samantha's love of bursting into song has made her one of the most talked about candidates. In every task, she tries to introduce some sort of musical element. It has already been noted that there is no room for her theatrics in business, so maybe Samantha should be a little bit worried.
