Rami Hosein - rjhosein@ucdavis.edu

What’s up AMSA! My name is Ramie Hosein and I’m a third year Philosophy major. I was born in Springfield, Virginia, and moved to Sacramento when I was eight years old. I played some water polo at Rio Americano high school and practiced taekwondo for six years. Along with playing an active role in Davis AMSA, I also aid in the research at an internal medicine lab specializing in pulmonary inflammation. One of my favorite things to do is travel, and I try to visit the Dead Sea each year. I understand that for many students, the university setting can be at times quite stressful and overwhelming so if you ever need any help PLEASE don’t hesitate to ask me! I’m looking for a great year for DAVIS AMSA!!!
