Samantha Strong focuses on government advocacy with the health and biosciences team. Grounded in pragmatic choices and political implications, she combines knowledge and understanding of the health care sector — including the intricacies of public and private insurance and pharmaceutical policy and regulation — with proven communication skills.

At Indiana University, Samantha crafted an individualized degree in bioethics with a concentration in health policy. With graduate-level courses, she dedicated her education to the study and understanding of the health care sector and its complexities. Samantha’s study included self-led quantitative analysis of the pharmaceutical industry and its impact on health care accessibility, as well as in-depth review of global and domestic impacts of public health research guidelines and practices, specifically on the state of ethics research committees in Kenya.
