Maryam Ahmed

I'm a reporter based in Austin, TX studying journalism and Middle Eastern studies. I'm currently a news desk editor at The Daily Texan and an editorial intern at The Austin Chronicle, but so much more TK. If you've got a tip about anything UT or Austin related, get in touch.

Even though I'm still early in my career, I've managed to cover some pretty heavy topics, including hate crimes, discrimination and police brutality. A self-proclaimed public information request warrior, I'm always on the lookout for insightful, impactful stories. 

In my life outside journalism, I'm an internationally recognized juggler (no, I won't perform at your kid's birthday party), a henna artist and an avid reader.
