My Story.
Asha developed an interest in community work very early on, which was foundational to her pursuit of her studies and work. She was also exposed to and involved in health-related endeavours through her engagement in sports as a child and through her teenage years, as well as her mom's work as a physiotherapist. Asha's experiences led her to develop a keen interest in wellness and an appreciation of movement in her work. Her interests have contributed to her over a decade of experience working in community, non-profit, corporate, and health and wellness spaces.
Asha holds a Bachelor of Honours in Political Science from York University and a Bachelor of Psychology from the University of Guelph. She completed her Master of Education in Adult Education and Community Development at the University of Toronto with a collaborative specialization in Workplace Learning and Social Change. Asha is a PhD student and teaching assistant at Brock University in the Faculty of Applied Health Sciences.​​​​
