Nurse Practitioner

Joined HPA: 2024

Graduate School: Yale University, New Haven CT

Undergrad: University of Connecticut, Mansfield, CT

Samantha grew up nearby in northern CT.  She stayed close to home for undergrad and is a proud alum of the University of Connecticut (Go Huskies!); where she spent her free time fundraising for Connecticut Children’s Medical Center and working at the Hole in the Wall Gang Camp for kids with serious illnesses.  Following graduation from UConn, she followed her passion for children’s health to Yale University, and ultimately received her Masters in Pediatric Primary Care Nursing. While in graduate school, she was fortunate to have a clinical rotation here at HPA. After a few years of practicing in Connecticut, she feels very lucky to be back now as part of the provider team!

Samantha strives to form trusting partnerships with her patients and families, and feels very fortunate to watch them grow. She has a special interest in nutrition through the lifespan, and is also a certified lactation counselor.

Her hobbies include running, riding her bike, hiking, skiing, spending time with family and friends, cheering for UConn basketball, and eating ice cream.

Samantha currently sees patients 4 days a week in the Holyoke office.
