Hello, my name is Maryam Chinoy and I am a Management Sciences major at LUMS. Firstly, congratulations on becoming a part of the LUMS family and a heartiest welcome to you all! You will be embarking on a 4-year journey where not only will you get the opportunity to learn from some of Pakistan’s greatest minds but will also get to form connections and relationships with people that will last a lifetime. There will certainly be downs to accompany the ups you will experience but the dynamic environment LUMS offers will give you the space you need to grow professionally and emotionally. As a Peer Ambassador, I want to ensure that your transition to this new lifestyle goes as smoothly as possible.
A little about me: I recently completed my exchange program at Universiti Malaya in Malaysia. This was a life-altering experience and helped mature multiple perspectives I held relating to life in general. I serve in the Directorate of one society while leading another as its President. I absolutely adore going for a nice, refreshing swim with my friends or being holed up in my room, trying to finish up the latest book I’ve picked up. My greatest passion, however, is travelling and you can always find me making up itineraries for my future travels.
Through trial and error, I’ve learnt how to navigate the competitive academic environment alongside maintaining a fruitful social life while also taking time out to care for my mental health. I’m excited to pass along everything I’ve learnt to the incoming batch and cannot wait to see you all soon!
