Dr. Samantha 於 2024 年加入豐盈動物急症及重症監護中心。她於 2011 年在比利時的University of Liège取得獸醫學位並完成全科轉科實習，隨後於 2016 年獲得布魯塞爾的University of Brussels博士學位，研究課題為飽足感激素（瘦素，leptin）對心血管系統的影響。

在對心臟健康熱情的驅使下，Dr. Samantha 於英國的University of Bristol完成了嚴謹的心臟科專科醫生培訓，並於 2022 年成功取得美國獸醫內科學院（心臟專科）（DACVIM – Cardiology）的執業專科認證。在加入豐盈之前，她曾在英國一所頂尖的大型獸醫院擔任資深心臟專科獸醫。

Dr. Samantha 非常注重多學科團隊的協作醫療環境。她與其他專科團隊緊密合作，為每隻受她照顧的動物量身打造全面且高度個人化的治療方案。她亦熱心推動獸醫學界發展，定期舉辦講座，與更廣泛的獸醫社群分享其專科知識。

在獸醫工作之外，Dr. Samantha 熱愛戶外活動與長途漫步、練習即興戲劇，並非常享受與丈夫、三個孩子以及兩隻愛犬度過高質素的家庭時光。

作為獸醫醫學進步的積極貢獻者，Dr. Samantha 曾於多份同行評審期刊發表學術文章，其中包括：
