Samantha Nguyen

My name is Samantha, but I go by either Sam or Sammy B... and no, the letter "B" is not in my real name.

I was born in Redlands, California, but I was raised and am currently residing in Boulder, Colorado. I am a student at the University of Colorado studying Biochemistry and Business.

I have one 17-year old black lab named Max, who has obviously been in my life for majority of it. He has inspired my love and passion for dogs.

Most of my life has consisted of taking care of my mom who has Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), along with a large array of other "side" diseases and symptoms. My latest struggle has been dealing with my mom's countless psychotic breaks and my family's reactions to it.
