Samantha Murray

Director

Samantha is Vicki Corner’s daughter and has been a part of Equitas since its inception. Her brother Brodie lives in the Avon Gate home. Samantha studied Neuroscience at university as she has always been fascinated by the complexity of the brain and how it functions in health and disease.

She gained her PhD in Neuroscience in 2017 and now works as a scientist studying neurodegenerative diseases.

Samantha spent a year as the administrator at Equitas in 2017, giving her insight into how the business is run at an operational level. She enjoyed this role as she was able to spend more time in the homes getting to know the people that Equitas supports.

Samantha also volunteers on the board of the Huntington’s Disease Youth Organisation of New Zealand (HDYO NZ), a charitable organisation with a mission to support, educate, and advocate for young people impacted by Huntington’s disease.
