Samantha Gunton

Samantha (she/her), nicknamed Sam, is 17. She has two brothers, one older and one her twin. She also has a dog named Fred. Right now, her favorite show is You and her favorite movie is The Dark Knight. Something interesting about Sam is that she’s not on social media; she believes it negatively affects her mental health. She adores Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez and also enjoys playing the guitar. Sam was interested in joining Sex, Etc. because she loves writing. She also believes it’s important for young people to receive comprehensive sex education because many schools talk only about abstinence, and she feels that’s unrealistic. Sam is particularly interested in covering contraception, sexually transmitted infection prevention and how abortion access is critical. This is the third year that Sam is bringing her kindness and humor to Sex, Etc.
