Sam Hance joined YSTV in 2016 during his first year. He joins the trend of often having a Sam in the station's numbers, being at least the 26th recorded member. Aspiring towards a career in film and TV, he studies the BSc in Film and TV Production. Sam was elected as [[Secretary]] at a by-election in February 2017. He was re-elected at the Elections of April 2017. 

Sam can often be found in the studio tidying, working, editing, exploring, and learning about tech stuff. When working alongside [[Sam Willcocks]], much confusion can be created just by someone uttering 'Sam?'.

He hopes to learn more about tech, make more shows and possibly make a piece of fiction.

==Secretary==
In Sam's time in the post he has worked on making it an efficient role, helping all of the members with various admin-related activities. This includes a quick response for email management, engagement with YUSU, and the minutes.

Minutes from meetings have been made more accessible with the implementation of a folder in the Team Drive. Like certain colleagues' emails, Sam has started putting the [[Logo]] on the header too, making it useful for identification when printed. Kind praise has been given for the minuting of major meetings that had a long runtime. Many a member has been surprised to find the whole discussion written down, even from an online call based meeting.
