BA, (Vind.), (in progress)

Hello, I’m Emily (she/her)! I am in my fourth year, studying political science, with additional interests in music, history and literature. I completed FYP in 2021. I am happy to talk about essay ideas and readings with any incoming students. I love editing, puns, creative writing, rock climbing and travel.

Having grown up in several countries, I relate closely to the Third Culture Individual and international student experiences. Halifax has been a wonderful place to study and live. I am especially fond of exploring its bookstores, beaches and coffee shops.

I love the King’s community and I am excited to be working as a Junior Don. I enjoy connecting with others, supporting my peers and collaborating to create a safe and open environment. I hope to contribute to a sense of belonging for new and returning students, and look forward to engaging with the residence community!


Dons are either upper-year King’s students or young professionals who live within a residence floor or bay and provide support to residents in their community.

They can help with:

  • Peer support & mentorship
  • Community building & programming
  • Conflict resolution between community members
  • Providing referrals to campus supports

Dons are the first line of support for individuals living in residence. There is a Don on Call available for urgent/immediate support each evening, weekend and holiday.

The Don on Call (4 p.m.–8 a.m., Mon–Fri & 24/7 on weekends and holidays) can assist with:

  • After hours incident response
  • After hours emergency response
  • After hours mental health crisis response
