Shama Ams

Hi, my name is Shama Ams. I joined the Writing Center team in the Fall of 2011, and haven’t looked back ever since.  I’m a native of Houston, Texas and enjoy playing classical and contemporary jazz piano, basketball, martial arts, debating policy, and reading about philosophy and science. I am a double major in Government and Politics and Economics, and currently in the BA/MA program specializing in International Relations. My research focuses on Inequality, Economic Development, and Disease Prevention in the Global South.

My writing philosophy has always been to allow people’s original thoughts to flow naturally. It has always been easier for me to understand concepts before I begin to develop an argument or a hypothesis; so, I try to adopt the same approach with my clients.  The Writing Center is a warm, relaxed atmosphere to do whatever interests you. I would recommend visiting to anyone.
