Maryam Ahmed
Senior
Pre-Medical track, Minor: Business
Salaam everyone! My name is Maryam Ahmed and I'm a senior this year on the pre-med track with a minor in business. I am a Lawrence resident, but originally from Canada. I came to KU because it was close to home and has great STEM resources. In'Sha'Allah in the near future, I plan to explore the public health field as I work my way towards becoming a physician! Some of my hobbies include traveling, hanging out with friends, and feeding my unhealthy coffee addiction by trying new coffee shops. What I love about our MSA is how we can all bond and connect with one another no matter our backgrounds. We also have a super supportive community which makes the Jayhawk experience that much more wholesome. Good vibes always :)
Fun fact about me: *error 404* I have no fun facts

My main hobbies are spending time with family, vibing with MoHameed, exercising, and playing video games. Every time I’m with the MSA, I enjoy every second of it. I always look forward to the weekly meetings, regardless of whether it’s on zoom or in-person. I can’t express how much gratitude I have for having a community of kids that I can go to for Islamic, school, and life advice. Fun fact about me: I can't speak Urdu without getting laughed at |

I'm a second-year student from Overland Park, and I’m on the pre-med track majoring in MCDB. In my free time, I enjoy playing tennis and chess. I picked KU because it’s a good school that’s not too far from home. I think the Muslim community at KU is inclusive and I’ve enjoyed getting to know new people. It has been a blessing to have a community of experienced students through MSA and amenities on campus such as the Reflection Rooms that have made the transition easy.

Sanah Shabbir
Junior Major: Applied Behavioral Science - Community Health Development concentration, Minor: Global International Studies, Pre-Medical Track Salaam everyone! My name is Sanah Shabbir and I'm a junior majoring in Applied Behavioral Science with a concentration in community health development and a minor in Global International Studies from Olathe, KS; I'm also on the pre-med track! I came to KU because of the Honors program and the excellent science departments here plus it's close to home, so I can visit my family whenever. In the future, I hope to go to medical school and become a physician, but I'm not sure which one quite yet and work with organizations that help build healthier communities. Some of my hobbies include binging Pakistani dramas, reading, and carpool karaoke with friends :) One of the many things I love about the Muslim community at KU is the inclusive and welcoming nature of it. Everyone supports each other and is there for you through good times and bad. Fun fact about me: I like calling Maryam Ahmed an egg on the daily |
