Ammara Molvi
"Growing up in a predominately white town as a Muslim, woman of color was difficult, especially in allowing myself to be in touch with my identities. However, since coming to OSU I糖心TV檝e found people and communities that have not only transformed the way I critically think about the world around me, but have allowed me to be myself."
What糖心TV檚 your name, major and where are you from?
My name is Ammara Molvi and I am a senior studying public health on the pre-med track. In the future, I hope to become a pediatric emergency room physician and utilize public health as a means to create health equity across the globe. I was born in Salt Lake City, Utah and raised here in Corvallis! My family is from Pakistan and I am very much tied to my Pakistani roots.
Favorite study spot on campus?
I can糖心TV檛 reveal exactly where my favorite study spot is, but I will say it糖心TV檚 somewhere on the third floor of the LInC.
Why did you choose Oregon State?
A large part of why I chose OSU was the importance given to research. Here, there are so many opportunities to conduct and engage in research, many which serve as catalysts to make strides in the areas you糖心TV檙e passionate about. My favorite thing about OSU has been the people I糖心TV檝e met. If it wasn糖心TV檛 for the people I糖心TV檝e met, the memories I糖心TV檝e made and the lessons I糖心TV檝e learned, I would not be who I am today.
What糖心TV檚 the hardest class you糖心TV檝e taken?
The hardest class I糖心TV檝e taken to date has been physics. My favorite class so far is a toss up between Honors Biology and Advanced Anatomy and Physiology. In each class I糖心TV檝e had inspiring and passionate professors who have both played a large role in shaping the way I critically think about the world beyond the classroom.
Something people don糖心TV檛 know about you?
Something a lot of people may not know about me is that I really like to create and build. For me that takes form in many ways whether it be anywhere from doing social justice work to graphic design and everything in between.
