Samantha is a 2022 graduate from University of Alabama at Birmingham School of Optometry (UABSO). Samantha is originally from Virginia but after spending four years in Alabama to complete her optometric degree, she fell in love with the area and decided to stay. Samantha preformed her undergraduate studies at Virginia Tech in Blacksburg, Virginia where she was a member of several honor societies, the pre-optometry club, and active member of her church and served in several community outreach programs to give back to her local community.
Samantha has always been an avid participant in the community and continued this passion in her time at UABSO by providing eye care to the Birmingham and surrounding areas. Samantha served as a Student Ambassador for UABSO where she was able to share her love and passion for the profession. Samantha is a member of the Alabama Optometric Association and plans to be a strong advocate for her profession in the years to come. |
Her and her fiancé, Nicholas and two German Shepherds, Bear and Dakota reside in Southside, Alabama and are all currently loving the small town feel! Samantha also enjoys kayaking and is looking forward to exploring the waters of Alabama. Most of all, Samantha is so honored and excited to provide any and all eye care services to the community through Cherokee Eye Clinic.
