Amina Simon

B.A. Princeton University

Amina Simon graduated with high honors from Princeton University where she majored in African American Studies and received a certificate in Latin American Studies. Her interest in race, public policy, and the intersections of oppression, privilege, and identity have developed steadily over time, informed by a variety of experiences both in the U.S. and abroad—including a Dragons-led program. She has been fortunate enough to live and study in several countries including the Dominican Republic, Senegal, Cuba, and China, and maintains connections with people around the globe.

As Admissions Director, Amina is dedicated to maintaining a responsive admissions process and increasing Justice, Equity, Diversity and Inclusion in the admissions experience. Amina is fluent in Spanish, highly proficient in Wolof, can survive in French and Italian, and can count to 10 in Mandarin (on a good day). She enjoys gardening, cooking, shooting pool, and making things.
