An aspiring writer, Samantha originally declared an English major before switching to biology. Though writing was a passion, she yearned for a more evidence-based field of study. She later earned her Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Purdue University in anticipation of opening her own clinical practice. It was during an internship at a large animal health company that she discovered the vast opportunities the agbiosciences industry offers veterinarians.

Samantha now works with drug development teams to produce medications that aid in disease prevention and treatment—impacting millions of animals.
