Samantha Brooks is an RC for a group of girls on the third floor. This twenty year old is a student majoring in English at the University of Florida. English isn’t good enough for Sam; she has also learned to speak Spanish and Japanese. She says that she frequently goes on foreign language sites to practice the languages. She hopes that she will be able to study abroad in Japan to practice her skills.
Samantha was born in West Boca, Florida. When she was 14 she moved to Pembroke Pines, Florida, and she currently resides there when she is not studying at University of Florida.
Samantha enjoys to salsa, write, travel, fence, and read in her free time. Some of her favorite books include House of the Spirits and Tithe. Likewise, she enjoys listening to music. Some of her favorite bands/artists include Mark Anthony, 3 Days Grace, Tiempo Libre, and Motion City Soundtrack. Her favorite movie is Crazy Beautiful.
This RC was also a Duke Tipster. She attended From Wonderland to Hogwarts in 2004, Short Fiction Workshop in 2004. Past is Present the Evolution of Literature, High Spirits in 2006, and Field Studies in Mexico for Creative Writing in 2007. She said she came back because, “I wanted to give what I received.” She certainly has.
A member of her group Marissa Karp said, “She’s the best RC I’ve ever had.”
