Meet our Research Ambassadors (AY 2023 - 2024)
Mariam Abdelsayed

Graphic Design
My name is Mariam Abdelsayed, and I am a graphic design major here at Kean University. My love for design of any kind sprouted from when I was really young, unsatisfied with the coloring books I was given and wondered if I could create something to my own taste. That drive to create followed me all my life, which was a surprise to my family. Being the first grandchild, all eyes were on me to become something great, and with all that support, I strive to be what I dream to be. Of course, while I enjoy my studies, I also enjoy watching cartoons, writing stories, playing video games, and collecting little knick knacks that catch my attention.
