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.
