Meet The Team: Nandita Adhikary

This week, we’re excited to introduce someone who plays a vital role on the front lines of outreach crisis support, Nandita Adhikary! As the Housing Intake and Front Desk Worker at our Merritt office, Nandita has been a part of the team for nearly a year. Throughout that time, she has shown a deep commitment to helping create a welcoming and respectful space for individuals as they navigate housing and support services.

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

I wanted to join an organization that worked in the intersection of the housing crisis and addiction crisis, or that supported harm reduction efforts. I admired ASK Wellness Society’s commitment to working with people who are marginalized and providing them with basic human needs, like housing, clothing, and food.

WHAT MAKES YOU MOST PROUD ABOUT YOUR ROLE WITHIN ASK?

I am proud to help people navigate through crisis situations and to connect them with our housing outreach support staff. It’s important to me to build relationships with people seeking services and resources, and to treat everyone I meet with dignity and respect.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO IN YOUR SPARE TIME?

I love having long distance video calls with my friends, trying new recipes, reading books, and watching movies.

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

I cannot live without chatting with long distance girlfriends.

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

I have a pet name that only my family members call.

We are truly thankful to have Nandita as part of the ASK Wellness Society team in Merritt. Whether she’s welcoming someone at the front desk or helping guide them toward the services they need, Nandita brings care, respect, and heart to everything she does.
