Amina Rotari
Class of 2025
Amina’s home campus is NYU Abu Dhabi where she is pursuing a double major in Arab Crossroads Studies and Political Science with a Peace Studies minor, but she is originally from a tiny Eastern European country - the Republic of Moldova. She’s particularly interested in studying languages (she’s currently learning her fifth!) and in the intersection of education and conflict resolution studies. When she is not working, she loves exploring independent bookstores, looking for the next flower bouquet for her room, or sharing a cuddle with her dog.
