Samantha is the co-founder of Sena Law. Samantha holds a Bachelor of Social Work from McGill University, a Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University, and a Juris Doctorate from the University of Victoria. Samantha’s educational background and previous career as a social worker deeply inform her approach to family law. Since becoming a lawyer, Samantha has also received certification as a mediator, arbitrator, parenting coordinator, and collaborative family lawyer and acts in those capacities while also maintaining a litigation practice.

Samantha’s practice is focused on helping families navigate conflict with clarity, compassion, and practical solutions.
