What Students are Saying about Samantha
"It’s exciting how her energy passes right on to you!"
Don Olson – Tampa, Florida
"I am always on the go and I eat a lot of fast food, at least 3-5 times a week. On campus that’s just what is fast and easy. Samantha taught me how to make better choices so I can have more energy and not gain weight."
Bobbie-Lynn Anderson, University of Akron
"Samantha was very enthusiastic which helped me pay attention to the information. I thought it was a very educational topic and I learned a lot."
Barbara Wright, Morrisville State College
"I really enjoyed how energized Samantha is, she really made the topic fun to listen to and easy to comprehend and I liked how she kept the audience drawn in."
Jeff Abraham SUNY Delhi
"This program has helped me out because I eat out 4-5 times a week. That is very common with college students because none of us want to cook; my friends eat a lot of fast food too."
Shelby, University North Carolina at Pembroke
"This talk was very enjoyable and something students can relate to. Most of the information were things most people should know, but hearing it always helps. It was entertaining and very suitable for college students."
Nicole Brock, The College of Saint Rose
"I can definitely sense Samantha’s passion for what she is teaching; A + for public speaking!"
Hans Keller, Morrisville State College
"Samantha taught me how to make better choices in my busy lifestyle with studies and work. I know exactly what to order at restaurants now and I learned how to plan snacks between classes. I’ve had more mental clarity to study for exams and since I can remember so much more, my grades have already improved! I’ve also lost 2 pants sizes from doing what she taught me and I feel great!"
Clarice Roberts – Hillsborough Community College
"I can’t believe how much more control I have with my food. I feel like I can eat less while being satisfied and I love knowing I get to eat every three hours. I have lots of energy now and I love her motivational CD’s to get me going."
Stephanie Oltz – Tampa, Florida
"Samantha teaches you like a friend not a teacher. Her seminar was very good and provided lots of information I can use."
George Nassar SUNY Delhi
"Samantha is an excellent speaker. When most people talk about weight loss it is always the same old thing but I found this presentation interesting and helpful. It helped me gain some confidence in myself that I really can lose weight realistically and not by eating bird food or going on some crazy diet. I like that I actually learned how to eat healthy."
Mayra Vazquez Alamo Community Colleges
"Samantha taught me how food affects our ability to think more clearly. Her speaking style is very informative, persuasive and I was so motivated by what she taught me I started working on it immediately. As a full time student there is not a lot time to cook so we order out or go straight through the drive thru to get food. A lot of the food we eat is not good for us and our studies so what Samantha teaches helps us do better in school."
Anastasia Vann, Fayetteville Technical Community College
"Samantha’s talk was very informing and she was able to make the topic of weight loss interesting rather than depressing and making viewers feel like they will never be able to achieve their goals like many speakers who talk about this topic do. Her energy really made the presentation for I can definitely tell she is passionate about the subject of health. I even stayed at the end to get tips and she was very helpful."
Meagan Doan, Ohio State Mansfield
"I eat fast food five times a week and sometimes 3 times a day because of my busy student life. I do know that’s not the healthiest and needs to improve, this program really helped that. My time is very limited and all the unhealthy stuff is easy and convenient. Samantha taught me how to make better choices with my food so I can have more energy for my studies."
Nyamekye Smith , Westchester Community College
"Samantha is truly gifted in the art of motivational speaking. She educated us about healthy eating in a way that was fun, entertaining and powerful. She has motivated me to live a healthier lifestyle that’s not overwhelming but is more of a fun challenge instead of a diet."
Dana Marsh – University of Indiana
"Samantha’s energy and love about this subject is awesome; the talk was great! It was very fun and a favorite by far of all the talks I have seen."
Caroline Fields, Howard Payne University
"I liked the way Samantha spoke about how she had an eating disorder, I think that it shows why she does what she does. I also liked that she kept us involved in the talk."
Dave Flores, Keuka College, NY
"What Samantha teaches is totally needed in college today. I see a lot of students pack on the pounds in dining halls so she helps students make better choices. Every student I know eats fast food everyday and they have no idea how many calories they are eating. The simple modifications she shows students how to make will have a huge impact on student’s energy level and weight."
Jenny Jewell – MBA Student USF
"This program helps students because a lot of us are overweight and the information Samantha gives us helps us to decrease that. I eat fast food 4-5 times a week. This program teaches me how to not eat too much of the greasy, fatty fast food and make better choices."
Nicole Caruthers, Georgia Southwestern State University
"Samantha woke us up, got us going and really got the audience involved."
Donna Harrison, Barton College
"Samantha taught me what I can eat on the run to avoid traps that will set me up for weight gain. From what I learned from her I have already lost 44 lbs., I have clearer thinking and more energy. Thanks Samantha!"
Renee Eaton – University of Florida
"Since I applied what I’ve learned from Samantha I am growing healthier, stronger, have more energy, busier, happier inside and out, changing for the better every single day. My energy level is out of sight, my self esteem is high and I am at peace with myself. Thank you Samantha you have truly changed my life and you are the best at inspiring and equipping people to become healthier."
Judy Olson – Baton Rouge, Louisiana
"Fast food and the dining hall is the only food we have around us so it’s a major part of the college life. I eat it all the time and so do my friends, at least 5-6 times a week. This program is helpful because it teaches us how to eat fast food and dining hall food healthier since we are doing it anyway.”"
Stacie Beal, Western Carolina University
