BA (SMU)
Pronouns: he/him
Bachelor of Arts, Saint Mary’s University, 2019
Hello, I’m Sam. I use he/him pronouns and I’m so excited to be the Don of North Pole Bay and Angels’ Roost this year!
I’m originally from Yarmouth, N.S., and graduated from Saint Mary’s University with a BA in Sociology & Criminology. Since I graduated, I’ve worked in the undergraduate recruitment and admissions offices at both Saint Mary’s and Dalhousie and have loved being a part of student journeys to university. While studying at Saint Mary’s, I lived in residence for 3 years, spending two years as a Residence Assistant. My residence experience and the friends I made in residence were a huge part of my time in university, and I’m excited to be part of the amazing community and residence team at King’s.
In my off time, you can find me daydreaming about my next hiking adventure, reading, trail running or happily snapping photos at a local concert.
I can’t wait to meet you!

Dons do have their own commitments outside of King’s. Some are in their undergrad or working through a graduate degree; others have full-time jobs off campus. Dons will communicate their availability and contact information to their community members during the first community gathering meeting on Welcome Day.
There is a Don on Call available for urgent/immediate support each evening, weekend and holiday.
