Outside of the classroom, Dr. Ahmad enjoys spending time with her family: her husband, 10-year-old and 6-year-old daughters, her mom, and many many cousins. She also has nurtured an interest in pottery and is currently learning how to sew. She loves meals with lots of different components: “Bibimbap, Indian buffet, tasting menu, small plates.”
When asked what piece of advice she would offer her students, Dr. Ahmad shared, “Other people are just as nervous about their writing, class participation, conference presentations, etc. as you are! Don’t let their pretentions get to you.”
