Areas of Focus
Samantha Judge brings together academic training, nonprofit board service, and endurance athletics. The areas below reflect her documented experience in kinesiology research, sensory inclusion, cause-related running, and community involvement.
Kinesiology Research and Biomechanical Analysis
Samantha completed graduate-level work in kinesiology at California State University, Fresno, with a focus on human movement science, biomechanics, athletic performance, and injury prevention. Her master’s research applied biomechanical analysis to UCL injury risk in Major League Baseball players.
Fresno State recognized the project as the Outstanding Master’s Degree Project in Kinesiology for 2017. Her academic work reflects a methodical, evidence-based approach to examining how the body performs and how movement patterns may relate to injury risk.
Sensory Accessibility and Inclusion Advocacy
As a member of the KultureCity Board of Directors, Sam Judge supports initiatives intended to make stadiums, arenas, concert halls, and other entertainment spaces more accessible to individuals and families affected by sensory processing differences and invisible disabilities.
The Aaron & Samantha Judge Sensory Room at Madison Square Garden is a visible result of this commitment. Opened in 2024, the permanent sensory space was established and endowed in partnership with KultureCity and Madison Square Garden. It provides a calming, fully accessible environment for guests who may need relief from the sensory stimulation of a large event.
Endurance Athletics and Cause-Related Running
Samantha completed the 2023 TCS New York City Marathon in 3:31:44 while representing KultureCity. Her participation connected endurance athletics with support for the organization’s sensory inclusion work.
In 2026, she served as a guide for Adrienne Bunn, an endurance athlete with autism, at the Boston Marathon. In that role, Samantha supported another competitor as Bunn completed the course on behalf of KultureCity.
These races demonstrate how Samantha Judge has used endurance athletics to support advocacy and inclusion.
