Samantha attended the University of Arizona for her undergraduate studies and attended the University of Arizona James E. Rogers College of Law. Samantha has also studied abroad in Guanajuato, Guanajuato, Mexico. While there, she served local rural schools, as well as a community resource center providing aid and access to low or no cost legal assistance to victims of domestic violence.

Samantha has conducted numerous jury trials, bench trials, and contested hearings in civil and administrative matters, and has obtained favorable verdicts and outcomes for her clients in each area.
