Jennine Sawwan

Born and raised in New York City, Jennine has always been surrounded by differences, ranging from ethnicity to religion to socioeconomic background. She carries that respect and love for difference wherever she goes, whether it is at Tufts University or in Paris, where she studied for a year. Jennine is a triple major in international relations, women's studies and peace and justice studies. She integrates her passion for conflict resolution and women's rights by studying gender-based violence within the context of war, along with sexual violence in war. Outside of her academic interests, Jennine enjoys cooking, martial arts and mastering French cheese etiquette.
