Asha Basi

Asha Basi is a third-year Kinesiology student in the Interdisciplinary stream. She chose UBC Kin for the variety of subject areas she could study such as psychology, biometrics and physiology. But with so many subject areas, how does one begin to hone in on an area that might lead to a career that would be a good fit? Asha’s favourite class to date has been Advanced Exercise Physiology (KIN 335) and says “the content is intriguing and very applicable to my life.” But she wanted to learn more about where she could go with this!

So, Asha decided to join the KIN Mentorship Program to find “some guidance in choosing a potential career path.” She was also interested in “hearing about the experiences of UBC Kinesiology alumni and what they decided to do with their degrees once they were out of School.” After only one term as a mentee, Asha highly recommends the mentorship program to other students; “I have already learned so much more about myself, about new and interesting career paths and it has helped me come to many important realizations.”

If you want to catch up with Asha, you can find her at BodyWorks where she currently works as a volunteer, and at the KUS where she serves on the Sponsorship Committee.
