Luke DymentSports editor |
Luke’s interest and involvement (and lack of talent) in sports led him to write about them, a lot. He’s done this, without regret, to the point of driving his high school English teachers crazy. He aims to do the same with you.
The University of King’s College journalism student started writing for the Dalhousie Gazette in 2019 before taking on his current role as Sports editor in 2020. Besides watching continuous reruns of games during quarantine, Luke spends his downtime listening to music turned up too loud and farming when he’s home in Prince Edward Island.
