Hobbies: I love music and basketball.
Why I became a mentor: I became an IPMP mentor to help other people in the ways other people helped me and the ways I needed help. I think becoming a mentor would be a great opportunity to help other people in the ways that I can and at the same time learn from the program while meeting new people.
Bio: I was born in a city called Al-Ain, UAE and I moved to the US when I was 9~10. I moved around a few times before starting my undergrad at IUPUI. I like meeting new people and I'm very curious in learning all the different interests people have. I believe that a lot of personal growth can happen by truly listening to other people and embracing that diversity to learn more about the world and each other.
Favorite Spot on Campus: My favorite spot on campus is the Lockfield Gardens in front of North Hall, especially during early Fall semester when the basketball courts are packed with people at night and people are hanging out in the grass or the volleyball courts. They play movies with a big projector at night if the weather is nice.
My advice: One piece of advice for a Freshman would be not to get scared of getting very involved on campus ASAP. Go on the spot and join every organization you think you'd have any interest in being a part of (this is actually how I found out about IPMP).
