Samantha, a single mother, has devoted her career as a surgeon to treating incontinence, reducing the stigma, and educating doctors, health professionals and the community. She has developed an online Continence Course to educate health professionals in an often-neglected area in medical education.   She challenges career gender stereotypes and breaks the glass ceiling for women. Samanthaadvocates for healthy living to reduce preventable chronic disease and resilience to overcome whatever life throws you.
