Samantha Larose-Berry is the Manager of One Health at UCalgary and is currently pursuing her Doctor of Public Health (DrPH) at the Dalla Lana School of Public Health at the University of Toronto. She received her Master of Science in Epidemiology with a focus on health services research from Western University in 2014. She then returned home to Calgary and worked for Alberta Health Services as a Quality & Evaluation Specialist. Following this, she jumped into the world of strategic consulting, which led her to work with health systems and service organizations from across Alberta and internationally. In 2018, her passion for evaluation led her to obtain her Credentialed Evaluator (CE) designation. Before starting her role at UCalgary, she provided strategic support to a hospital in Siem Reap, Cambodia.

Samantha’s career has led her to work with a variety of stakeholders – from academic leaders and researchers to frontline healthcare workers, veterinarians, and patients in local and international settings. She enjoys working with transdisciplinary teams to tackle complex problems, such as antimicrobial resistance. In her spare time, Samantha can be found at the swimming pool or travelling with her family.
