Welcome Aisha!
Hello dear Questies,
My name is Aisha and I graduated from Quest in 2016. My question was “How can we measure ecological health?” I was (and still am) curious about interdisciplinary ways to understand relationships within ecosystems. My favourite courses were with Mai, Court, Negar, and visiting tutor Leigh Joseph. I also begrudgingly took a Foundations music course in my 4th year and it opened my mind to a world of music I hadn’t engaged with before!!!
After graduation, I worked for an Eco NGO in Tofino, which led me to become a certified teacher. I completed my Masters of Education at Vancouver Island University (‘24), focusing my thesis on teacher experiences of dissonance. I still have many questions, and am continually studying myself and my relationships within the system of education. I am forever grateful to the Quest model of education; it prepared me to be in a constant state of learning and guides how I engage my students in the BC public education system.
I am now living in Cumberland, BC where I love to be moving my body in outdoor spaces, diving into a good read, and sharing food. I am excited to be a new member of the QUCAA, joining a well-established Board of fellow alumni with a shared mission of keeping the vibrant “Quest spirit” accessible to our alumni community.
