Samantha comes to OLM Prep with a deep passion for inquiry-based, hands-on science learning and a beautiful dedication to nurturing the whole child. She recently completed her Master of Arts in Teaching (M.A.T.) in Biology from Southern Connecticut State University, where she was recognized as a prestigious Noyce Scholar for her commitment to high-quality STEM education.

What makes Samantha an incredible dual fit for our middle schoolers is her wonderful blend of scientific expertise and faith-filled leadership. In addition to her extensive experience designing innovative science units, she has served as a dedicated Catechism Instructor at Our Lady of Victory, guiding young students in their spiritual growth and discussion. Our middle school students will benefit immensely from her ability to spark curiosity in the science lab while fostering strong character, compassion, and critical thinking in the classroom.
