Samantha Rowe | Director of Operations

Hello, My name is Samantha Rowe, most people call me Sam, born and raised in Michigan. I lived in South Florida as a Pre-Teen for two years. I have been in Occupational Health for 9 years now and love it! Currently I am earning my MBA degree. When I was a child and even as an early adult I have always wanted to be an elementary english teacher, or a geriatric medical provider.I love to spend time with my son, traveling, exploring new places, spending time with my family, and being outdoors. Out of all the places I have been, I think my favorite was Roatan, Honduras. This was a magical place to me, the animals were free, and you could feel the culture everywhere you went. My future plans are to help take OCS to the next level, and travel the world with my son.

Valencia Hirmiz, DNP | Nurse Practitioner

My name is Valencia, I also go by ‘Val’. I was raised in the vibrant city of Detroit, an experience like no other. The energy, diversity, and culture that permeated the streets and neighborhoods shaped me into the person I am today. Since a young age, I’ve always had a strong inclination towards a career in the medical field. The gratification of knowing that my efforts could make a real difference in the lives of others was a driving force behind my interest in the field.

I am an incredibly proud alumni of the University of Michigan (Go Blue!), where I earned my doctoral degree, but I wouldn’t be where I am today had it not been for my parents. Part of a small Catholic minority from the country of Iraq, my parents immigrated to the United States in hopes of creating a brighter future for themselves and our family. The decision to leave everything behind and migrate to a foreign country is a bold one, and requires a great deal of courage and determination. Their unwavering love and support also served as a beacon of guidance throughout my journey.

Melissa Compton | Director of Onsite Services

My name is Melissa Compton and I’ve been with OCS for 4 years. Most people call me Mel, but I’m lucky to be called mom by my two wonderful children. I also have several fur babies who I love dearly. I was born in Wayne. When I was a child I dreamed of being a teacher when I grew up. In some ways that dream came true. I’m in the medical field teaching the correct way to protect our workers. When I’m not working I enjoy traveling, fishing, singing, and attending concerts/musicals. I love to travel and have enjoyed every place I’ve been able to explore with family and friends. I aspire to visit places like Alaska, Hawaii, Australia, and Europe.
