Biography

Department of Transdisciplinary Science and Engineering
School of Environment and Society
Student Ambassador from April 2023 to March 2025

Hello everyone, my name is Mariam! I am an ambitious student who comes five thousand miles across the oceans; specifically, the United Arab Emirates. I graduated with a bachelor’s degree in English literature. Yet, I found my lost dream in Global Engineering for Development, Environment, and Society and enrolled in a master’s at Tokyo Tech in 2022. Now, having completed my master’s, I am advancing my studies further by joining the doctoral program in the same field. Since a young age, I have been an environmentalist by taking part in school camps, seminars, and more to support this cause. Moving to the East and starting a new life in the Land of the Rising Sun was such an exciting yet uphill adventure. The fact that I knew no one and barely can understand any Japanese overwhelmed my heart. Despite this, I overcame this challenge and succeeded in integrating into this new society. Today as a Student Ambassador, I wish to support students who are struggling to make friends and to be part of this fascinating society through my writings.
