Not only did Sam Haggart win the Best Service Person Youth category on Saturday night, but she also won the hearts of the audience with her acceptance speech as she received her award from Brian Darth.
Sam's speech was named best of the night by the hosts of the evening, More FM's Ken and Anna, who referred to it a few times throughout the evening.
Sam thanked her colleagues at Tūtaki Youth Inc "for helping me to be the best I can be," and said working there in her role as youth worker was the best job possible.
The judges comments on Sam described her as evoking a sense of trust and respect, saying it was clear she delivered a professional and useful service.
"I would happily let my children attend programmes she was in charge of."
