During her first year at Merrimack, Samantha was in a fellowship role through the Office of Wellness Education as a CARE team member. In this role, Samantha was hands-on with the Merrimack student body and collaborated with many organizations on campus. Now in her second year, Samantha has gained valuable experience as a graduate student and is currently completing her internship at Lahey Hospital in Psychiatry Behavioral Medicine. Looking ahead, Samantha intends to work in private practice, providing therapy to children, adolescents, young adults (college-age), and adults in the community.
