Hi, my name is Tanvi! I am in the Bachelor of Kinesiology and Master of Management program, specializing in Social and Behavioural Sciences. I have recently moved to Vancouver from Edmonton, Alberta. There, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to work with young children as a camp counsellor, high school students as the Secretary-General of a high school Model United Nations club, geriatric patients as a recreational aide, and orthopedic patients as an orthopedic social activities leader. I also worked as a receptionist/physiotherapy aide with a panel of esteemed physiotherapists. This was an incredible insight into the field I one day hope to enter! Right now, I am looking forward to starting my role as a fitness leader with the Active Aging Institute. What I am most excited about, however, is my upcoming work with the Campus Kinnections program.
The Campus Kinnections program is a peer-to-peer mentorship program within the Kinesiology Undergraduate Society that aims to provide mentorship and leadership opportunities to upper-year Kinesiology students while providing incoming first-year and transfer students with a myriad of tips, tricks, and on-campus resources that will make their first year go much smoother. Under my role as a Campus Kinnections Event Coordinator, I will create, organize, and deliver events for all participants. For me, this position is the best of both worlds! I can exercise my organizational skills and channel my creativity while building connections with the phenomenal individuals in this program. However, what is most thrilling is that I will be able to use my own experiences as a first-year student to improve the experiences of incoming first-year students. Given these unprecedented Covid-19 conditions, it is vital to continue to innovate, evolve, and improve. I look forward to doing so and creating a positive and lasting impact on the participants of this program!
