Aman Sharma,

Director of Engagement

Stories drive Aman Sharma’s movement through life, so you’ll find him listening for stories constantly. His narrative has seen him in low-paying roles (farm labourer, shoe salesperson, administrative assistant) that have contained their own rich tales. To support his fascination with stories, Aman completed a BA from UBC in English and Anthropology. Later, he worked through a BSW at UVic to eventually practice as a social worker in the mental health system. Aman joined Health Justice in 2020, and seeks to incorporate the subtle lessons from the many individuals, families, and communities who showed him different ways of approaching stories. He gets excited seeing people with lived and living experience drive the work of the organization. Aman also holds an MSW from UVic, where his thesis worked with stories using an autoethnographic methodology.
