As a Human Resources Specialist, Khamil plays a vital role in supporting our people and strengthening the systems that help our organization thrive.

WHAT LED YOU TO BE INTERESTED IN WORKING FOR ASK WELLNESS SOCIETY?

My interest in working for ASK Wellness Society grew over time through learning more about its commitment to supporting people and strengthening community well-being. I see ASK as an organization that shares my core values and outlook on what is needed in society today - doing meaningful, people-centred work without seeking recognition, but finding purpose in the impact made and the support provided to others.

WHAT MAKES YOU MOST PROUD ABOUT YOUR ROLE WITHIN ASK?

At ASK, what makes me proudest is the ongoing commitment to people. Being able to act as a resource for our team members fills my cup, especially when it means helping someone feel supported, informed, and confident navigating their work or a challenging moment. Contributing to a culture where people feel respected and cared for is what makes this work truly meaningful to me.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO IN YOUR SPARE TIME?

Running, board games, documentaries and learning new things!

WHAT IS ONE THING YOU JUST CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT?

Music!

CAN YOU TELL US A FUN FACT OR SOMETHING FEW PEOPLE KNOW ABOUT YOU?

I have 5 siblings!

We’re so happy to have Khamil on the HR team. When it’s time to get things done, he’s earbuds in, locked in, and ready to help. We really appreciate everything he brings to the team, including those solid documentary recommendations!
