Hey everyone, I’m Samantha (Sam works too), your dessert loving (did someone say ice cream?), dog obsessed (yes, that is my dog in the picture, and yes it’s a problem), 5 foot one girl running to be your Junior Social Coordinator. I’m from Markham so bubble tea basically runs through my veins! I went to school at McMaster University (Class of 2018) and majored in Biology. 

​

For the past 7 years, I’ve spent my summers working for the City of Markham; being a camp counsellor (3 years) and a camp supervisor (4 years). I’m a tiny person with a lot of enthusiasm and very loud camp voice, once you get to know me! A big part of that job involved planning orientation, budgeting, training new and returning staff, planning 8 weeks of fun filled activities for the campers and most importantly, planning socials for my team of 50! Some of the socials that I have planned include: bowling, bonfires, Master Chef, mini golfing, potluck + board games night, carnival, laser quest and dodge ball tournaments. Sadly, this past summer was my last summer working with camps but I want to continue to plan socials and take the experience I have and share it with NUS and you guys!

​

I believe it is so important to socialize and bond with your team (that’s you guys, Class of 2020!) outside the workplace/school setting. So let’s not only work hard together this year but also play hard! I want to be able to listen to your ideas to plan social events so we can get to know each other a little bit more, let off some steam and try our best to avoid burn out! We're all in this together (insert High School Musical song)! 

​

But other than that, if you ever want to break out in a camp song, play a camp game, try one of my camp riddles, or talk about dogs, I’m your girl! Thank you for taking the time to read a little bit about me, again, I’m Samantha and I’m running to be your Junior Social Coordinator!
