Biography

Samantha graduated from the University of Michigan with a Bachelor of Arts in Viola Performance. From there, she chose to pursue a career in occupational therapy and graduated from the University of California, where she received both her Master of Arts in Occupational Therapy and Doctor of Occupational Therapy.

Samantha completed her doctoral residency in a research lab where she examined and disseminated knowledge primarily centered around musculoskeletal disorders impacting the upper extremities. She completed her level II fieldwork experiences in an outpatient hand therapy clinic and an outpatient pediatric setting.

Knowing that a singular way to treat a patient does not exist, as each person presents with varying needs and goals, Samantha’s approach to care is to collaborate with each patient. In doing so, she ensures they receive an individualized, personalized care plan that can help them achieve their desired outcomes and improve their quality of life.

Currently residing in the greater Los Angeles area, Samantha loves watching baseball, playing golf, cooking, exploring new restaurants and places and spending time with loved ones.
