Sajim Ahmed
Hi, this is Sajim Ahmed, a sophomore at The University of Southern Mississippi. Originally
from Bangladesh, I have a knack for traveling and exploring new places and cultures.
When I am not busy hitting the books and acing my computer science classes, I love
to unwind by diving into thrilling detective stories, channeling my inner Sherlock
Holmes to solve the most challenging of mysteries. And speaking of flavor-packed adventures,
nothing tickles my taste buds quite like a steaming hot plate of mutton biryani, bursting
with aromatic spices and succulent meat.

of women in films, television productions, and streaming series created by women.
I've taught Media Writing I and Introduction to Public Speaking courses. Nashville,

paint using acrylics.
