Faria Ahmad

Ever since I was a child, I have always been curious as to how things were designed and developed. As I started my academic career, I had realized that my favorite subjects were art, math, & science. When I was applying for college, I knew that I wanted to study something in a math & science field, but I also
wanted to have a creative outlet. Engineering at Maryland is a perfect fit for me because it was able to encompass all the things I was looking for. I am very
involved and informed about the math & science aspects as well as the creative & innovative aspects.

One of the main reasons I have chosen to become a Clark School Ambassador is because I am very enthusiastic for outreach programs. I often participate in the KEYS program here at the Clark School as well as the mentoring program for young freshman students through Women In Engineering & Flexus. In addition
to being a member of Flexus: Women In Engineering Living & Learning Community, I am also the social chair of their executive board.

I am also a member of the University Honors Program, Women In Engineering, Muslim Student Association/Muslim Women of Maryland, and Bengali Student Association.
