“I learned to facilitate discussions that relate to all aspects of health care.”
Aisha is graduating on June 2, 2021 from the Interdisciplinary stream. She says that she
“loved how KIN professors have such diverse backgrounds and that when subjects were brought up, we were able to discuss the multitude of topics with kinesiology that are applicable. KIN is a smaller community, so it’s easier to get to know each other, make connections and become a community in itself.” Upon reflection, Aisha says that the most important thing she learned in KIN was “how to facilitate discussions that relate to all aspects of health care.”
After graduation, Aisha plans to complete my Masters of Occupational Therapy right here at UBC! She was involved with the KUS as a street team member, senior orientation leader, orientation leader and most recently as a BIPOC committee member! She states that her “goals are to be involved in health care that incorporates both physical and mental health by involving practices that provide patient advocacy. I want to work with other healthcare professionals to facilitate discussions that empower patients to become more knowledgeable about their own health and give them the confidence to achieve any goal they set; having a focus that accounts for physical and mental health and their interconnections.
