Outside of the Budget, Samantha writes Double Take, an advice column printed in the Lawrence Journal-World.  Samantha loves to sing in harmony and talk to junior high kids through peer education panels. In the halls, you can often find her humming a Beatles song while wearing a color-coordinated outfit and tripping over her own feet. Some day Samantha would like to write for a teen or women’s issues magazine.
