Samantha is a human rights and sociology double major. As a student staff member of the University of Connecticut's Native American Cultural Programs, she is working to increase representation and resources for Native and Indigenous students on-campus as a coordinator, mentor, and advocate. After graduation, Samantha hopes to achieve an M.A. in American Indian studies as well as a J.D. so that she may one day work to address issues of anti-Indigenous violence through education policy, reparations, and police system reform.
