This year, Amaal is writing for the Culture strand! Through her writing, she hopes to draw on her experiences as a British Pakistani Muslim, living on the outskirts of London.
Amaal is a first year Pharmacy student at King's College London (KCL). One of the reasons why she chose Pharmacy was because she wanted to study something which would involve interacting with a diverse range of people. Through her studies, she looks forward to meeting people from all walks of life, faiths and cultures! She's passionate about health literacy, especially among ethnic minority communities, for whom healthcare is often harder to access due to cultural and language barriers. She believes strongly that irrespective of our differences, everyone is bound together by our common Biology.
Amaal has always loved to write! She also loves Rhossili Bay in South Wales, London (especially in the Winter), books (she's been Harry Potter obsessed since birth), Gilmore Girls, and the 2019 adaptation of Little Women (proud Greta Gerwig enthusiast). She's also always enjoyed learning languages and hopes to one day become fluent in Urdu and Arabic!
