Meet The Team: Swagath Swamy

This week, we’re excited to introduce someone who is usually behind the scenes (and the camera) rather than in front of it: Swagath Swamy. Whether it’s keeping internal and external communications running smoothly or supporting PQI and accreditation work, Swag is someone the team can count on. Over the past year, she’s become known for her reliability, collaborative approach, and the positive energy she brings to her work each day.

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

The role offers a strong alignment between my interests and strengths, combining both communications and operational work. As a community member and now someone working within the organization, I value the opportunity to contribute in a meaningful way and support work that has a real impact. Being able to make a difference through what I do is what continues to motivate me.

WHAT MAKES YOU MOST PROUD ABOUT YOUR ROLE WITHIN ASK?

The cross-departmental collaboration stands out the most. Working with different teams across ASK keeps things dynamic. It gives me a real sense of how the organization fits together as a whole. I also value the breadth of work I'm involved in. I handle storytelling, communications, and administrative work like COA and accreditation. It's a balance of creative and operational. Understanding how both contribute to the bigger picture is something I genuinely enjoy.

WHAT DO YOU LIKE TO DO IN YOUR SPARE TIME?

I run a dance crew called Kuthu Crew. We perform at community events. When I'm not doing that, you'll find me trying to get better at pickleball. I also like visiting new places or hunting down the best mocha at every coffee shop I stumble into.

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

Morning coffee! It keeps me going.

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

I speak five languages, and I'm currently learning a sixth - go ahead, guess which one! Oh, and chocolate ice cream? Always my first choice, no contest.

We’re so happy to have Swag on the team. She brings a strong sense of connection to the Society while balancing creative storytelling with the operational work that keeps everything organized and on track. And if you ever need a coffee recommendation, an ice cream buddy, or a quick dance break, you know who to go to… just follow the sticky notes to her office!
