nationwide, pro-democracy uprising.After fleeing to Thailand where 
she was documented as an "illegal immigrant", she sought protection 
from the United States. She applied for refugee status at the U.S 
Embassy in Bangkok and was approved. She arrived in Washington, D.C 
in 1990. Ohmar earned a Bachelor's degree in Chemistry from Simon's 
Rock College in Massachussets in May, 1994 and then returned to 
Washington to work as a research associate with Refugees 
International. Ohmar's mother, two sisters and brother remain in the
