Keith Chung

Office Manager

Hello! I am the Office Manager at Mind Conscious, where I handle everything from overseeing administrative tasks to refining our marketing strategies. My aim is to keep our team energized and focused, ensuring our work not only meets the clinic’s goals but truly benefits the people we serve. With a degree in economics, I enjoy bringing a big-picture perspective to the table–figuring out the best ways to allocate resources and streamline processes so everyone feels proud of their contributions.

Outside the office,  photography is my new hobby. From photographing Alberta’s stunning mountain vistas to experimenting with astrophotography, I love capturing moments that remind me of our place in the wider universe. It’s a hobby that challenges me to see the world in new ways–something I try to being into my professional life, too. For me, growth, innovation, and understanding are at the heart of everything I do, both at work and behind the lens.

Andy Chan

Administrative Assistant

I am an Administrative Assistant at Mind Conscious, where I handle scheduling, billing, and various administrative tasks to ensure our daily operations run smoothly. My vision is to support people in living happier, more balanced lives by fostering a space where positive emotions can thrive. I take pride in contributing to our mission of helping individuals on their journey toward better mental health.

Outside of work, I’m passionate about photography, especially sports photography. Capturing the energy and emotion of a moment inspires me to see the world in new and creative ways. I also enjoy practicing Karate and swimming, which keep me active and disciplined. These hobbies energize me and reflect the focus and dedication I bring to both my personal and professional life.
