Sam Arends

Academic Admin Assistant

I believe in empathetic and comprehensive care, which you’ll appreciate through my understanding and patient nature.

After graduating with Honours from the Southern Alberta Institute of Technology, where I earned my Medical Unit Clerk Certificate, I acquired experience as the first point of contact in the public and private health sector and the hospitality, legal, and animal assisting field.

I’m passionate about body positivity and am an animal advocate. I’m an active member of the “Eff your Beauty Standards” body-positive movement on social media. I also have numerous hours of volunteer time at several animal shelters in Alberta.

When I’m not in the office, you can find me wandering the hoodoos in Drumheller Alberta using my amateur photography skills or learning a new way of expressing myself artistically. I’m also a fan of silent movies, astrology, Yoga Nidra meditations, and discovering new music.
