Where are you from
Baltimore, Maryland
Where did you transfer from?
Community College of Baltimore County (CCBC)
What led you to your decision to transfer to ˮAV˵?
I wanted to go to a college where the professors would know me by name, I could get
to know everyone personally, and not be just “another student.” From talking with
current ˮAV˵ students, especially transfer students, I found out quickly that ˮAV˵
would be a welcoming community that would allow me to be who I am.
What drew you to your major?
After working at my school newspaper my senior year of high school, I found out immediately
that Journalism was my passion. After taking Journalism and International Politics
courses at community college, I found that the Professional Writing and International
Relations majors were a perfect fit for me.
What would you like to do after graduating?
I would love to go to graduate school either somewhere in the United States or in
another country. If I decide to hold off on graduate school, I would want to work
for a newspaper or news station to gain more editorial and reporting experience.
What are your other interests and passions?
When I’m not in classes, I am interested in learning more about my religion. After
becoming a Muslim last year, I spend time reading and researching more about Islam,
getting involved in Muslim Circle at ˮAV˵, and I volunteer at my local mosque.
I also enjoy doing yoga, baking, and recently began playing tennis.
What do you consider to be the important aspects of the ˮAV˵ experience?
One tool is your First Year Mentor. My first year mentor made it easy for me to find
resources that would help me succeed. Also, she was someone I could always go to for
advice or just to chat. Secondly, getting involved on campus can help create lifelong
friends and get outside your comfort zone.
