Following her undergraduate studies, Samantha joined a prominent personal injury law firm in Boston, Jason Stone Injury Lawyers. She commenced her career as a Pre-litigation Paralegal and subsequently advanced to the position of Litigation Paralegal. This experience solidified her interest in the legal field and motivated her to pursue a Juris Doctor degree at Suffolk University Law School.
In 2024, Samantha completed an accelerated program at Suffolk University Law School, graduating magna cum laude and within the top 6% of her class. She currently serves as an Alumni Student Mentor for Suffolk University. During her final year of law school, Samantha participated in the Innocence Clinic at Suffolk, where she collaborated with the New England Innocence Project on cases involving potential wrongful convictions. Since January 2025, she has continued her commitment to this cause by volunteering with the New England Innocence Project.
After successfully passing the Massachusetts Bar Examination in July 2024, Samantha then completed a one-year clerkship for the judges of the Massachusetts Juvenile Court, gaining experience in both Boston and Worcester. This clerkship cultivated her interest in child welfare and family law, reinforcing her passion and dedication to advocating for vulnerable children and families.
Samantha is characterized by her compassionate and understanding approach when addressing individuals in sensitive situations. She was raised in Kennebunkport, Maine, and values living in New England due to its familiarity and proximity to her family and friends. She currently resides in Boston.
In her leisure time, Samantha enjoys reading, visiting the beach, engaging in nature walks, practicing pilates and yoga, attending live music events, and spending time with family and friends.
