After earning her undergraduate degree from Fordham University in 2009 where she double-majored in English and Art History, Samantha then went on to complete her Masters in Library and Information Sciences at Simmons College in Boston, MA. Her work experience includes roles as a Reference Librarian at Siena College, Director of the Watervliet Public Library and for five years, owner of Culinary Square, a retail kitchen shop located in downtown Troy where Samantha was largely responsible for their social media accounts, marketing and merchandising. This unique combination of education and business experience make her a valuable asset to Fagan Associates.
