Ana Dionne-Lanier
Political Science and Peace Studies Major, Senior
I have a very strong passion for African conflict studies and spentmy sophomore summer in Uganda and Rwanda. During those 6
weeks I studied post-conflict development through engagement with
local leaders and humanitarian actors. It was based on experientiallearning and largely depended on our own conversations with ourhost families and people around us. Through my studies I affirmed
my strong belief in a holistic approach to development, involving the
complete understanding of a context in order to best adapt a projector idea. I am excited to be working with Rubia this semester and I
hope to also practice my French skills. With three semesters under
my belt I have a basic speaking ability and strong reading capabilities.
Jessica Peck
My name is Jessica Peck. I am a Spanish and French majorat the University of Notre Dame, and I am also minoring in
International Development. I am very passionate about
education issues, women's education in particular. I bring
several sets of skills to the table: I have experience in
teaching, as I taught piano for years, and currently
teach Sunday school at a local church; I have strong
organizational/logistical skills honed over years of running
clubs, newspapers, theatrical productions, etc.; and,
somewhat more trivially (yet relevant given Rubia's current
projects), I love to sew! I am very excited about the work
that Rubia is doing around the world, and I can't wait to
start contributing.
