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, Iplan 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 :)

I am currently in the University Honors Program and on the pre-med track.

The Muslim community is extremely welcoming and it's a family-type environment, which really helped ease my transition when I first came to KU.
