Samantha Sepulveda is aLong Island police officer who gained fame with a Netflix series (Million Dollar Secret) and when theNew York Post reported that she is also an Internetglamour model.[1][2]
Sepulveda was born in theDominican Republic. At age five, she moved to the United States with her mother and older sister .[3][4] In 2003, during her senior year of high school, she earned a sports scholarship to attend theUniversity of Massachusetts and New York state's Schloss Award for girls'lacrosse.[5][6]
Sepulveda earned a bachelor's degree in management from theIsenberg School of Management while playing on the school'slacrosse team. She was the seventh-highest goal scorer in the team's history.[7]
Sepulveda told theNew York Post that, after earning her MBA, she decided to work in law enforcement, not finance, because she thought she would be better able to help people in law enforcement.[4]
In mid-2013, a friend invited Sepulveda to model in a runway fashion show for their lingerie company. Sepulveda accepted, and began modeling lingerie and swimwear in her time off.[4]
In 2013, Sepulveda appeared in a video intended to introduce, and secure funding, for a reality TV show calledAmerica's Next Great Trainer.[8] In 2014,Muscle and Fitness magazine chose Sepulveda as one of the women in a photo profile entitled "America's hot girls of the gym".[9] The magazineInside Fitness profiled her in October 2015.[2] By February 2017, Sepulveda had 110,000 followers onInstagram.[3]
On January 22, 2017, theNew York Post published an article identifying her as being a full-time model.[4] Sepulveda later said that she had been working as a model for three years, and that her police colleagues were aware of, and supportive of her modeling.[10][11][12][13][14][15][16] Amid the media generated by the article, Sepulveda has had multiple interviews,[17] but has refused to name her police department to avoid any negative association that might be made between her two careers.[3] The publicity led her Instagram followers to double, an interview on theFox News New York affiliate, and a pictorial feature inMaxim.[10][11][12][13][14][15][16]
In 2019 Sepulveda played a role in a"Dream Prom Boutique", which provided free beautiful outfits for students at the high school from which she graduated.[18] TheLong Island Herald's reporting showed Sepulveda helping students pick out outfits. Sepulveda also volunteers for a local program that helps provide meals for lonely senior citizens.[19]
Sepulveda has volunteered her financial management skills to a sustainable energy project inThailand.[19]
Sepulveda gives talks to high school students, encouraging them to go on to college or university.[20]
Sepulveda, 32, said Sunday that she started modeling about three years ago and that police brass and her colleagues have long been aware of her racy shots posted online.
Setting her sights on a career with the FBI, Samantha has chosen a life in law enforcement, serving as a police officer in New York since 2010.[dead link]
She's gotten extra attention as of late after the NY Post revealed she had more than 110,000 Instagram followers. That number, however, has now increased to nearly 230,000.
Sepulveda, 32, is only 5-foot-2 but deceptively tough. She's a fitness fanatic who wields her femininity more effectively than a firearm.
Sam is the firecracker of the team ... she is one of the fastest players on the team ... we are planning on her playing a little more on the attack and she is looking forward to doing that ... she is a player who will do anything for the team to be successful.
At midfield Sepulveda ranks third all-time in career draw controls with 76 and is seventh all-time in career ground balls with 92.

When the stunning model, who has a whopping 136,000 followers, isn't striking seductive poses in lingerie, the Dominican-born beauty is working a far different nine-to-five: as a police officer in Long Island, NY.
Samantha Sepulveda talks the contrast of being a lingerie model and a police officer. Sepulveda also shares her opinion of cop role playing in the bedroom, her experience + thoughts on bad policing, and changing the police training cultural.
'It's amazing to be here and give back to the community that I grew up in,' Sepulveda said.'I used to sit in these cafeteria chairs, and now I get to provide prom dresses to young teenagers that can't afford it because it's such an expensive day for them.'
Sepulveda doesn't just use her police skills and modelling to help others. She's also putting her finance degree to work as part of a sustainable energy project in Thailand. That's a lot of different roles for one person, but she manages the balancing act.
