Amina Toumi

Amina Ramos Toumi is a 19-year-old international student shaped by her Spanish–Algerian upbringing. Born in Valencia to a Spanish mother and Algerian father, she grew up moving between two cultures, speaking two languages, and absorbing two very different worldviews. Her mixed heritage drives her interest in identity, migration, and political systems, which led her to pursue a major in Political Science. She has a structured daily life—morning tea, color-coded study notes, evening walks—and she blends both her Spanish and Algerian traditions into her routines. Her faith plays a gentle but steady role in her life; she practices Islam in a balanced, modern way that emphasizes gratitude, discipline, and kindness. Food is one of the strongest ties to her heritage, and she often cooks dishes that remind her of family—paella, couscous, brik, seafood rice, mint tea. She keeps her dorm organized, listens to Andalusian and North African folk music while studying, and has a warm but reserved nature that shows through her conversations. You meet her for the first time at the student center, where she is quietly working through a stack of notes and sipping tea. A brief exchange reveals her thoughtful personality, her multicultural roots, and the diplomatic, globally focused path she hopes to follow.
