Samantha has a degree in Architecture, obtaining the award for best graduate from the 2020 promotion, at the University of Azuay, in Cuenca, Ecuador. In 2022 she completed a Master's Degree in Comprehensive Construction Management with a specialty in design and structural calculation, at Ramón Llull - La Salle University, in Barcelona, in which she ventured into the investigation of structures with her thesis, which consisted of comparing the structural behavior of a building, with different structural typologies (reinforced concrete beams, steel box girder, metal trusses and post-tensioned beams).

Samantha is currently working towards a phd in Technology of Architecture, Building and Urbanism, in Barcelona at the Polytechnic University of Catalonia. The phd thesis deals with tall buildings (100-200m) subjected to dynamic loads, more specifically, wind.
