Saskia is an Environmental Studies / Global Affairs double major passionate about all things climate policy! This summer, she supported domestic climate priorities as an intern in the White House Climate Policy Office. Over the past few years, she has had the opportunity to look at corporate climate action, international climate risk assessment, and grassroots organizing through internships with the World Wildlife Fund, the Woodwell Climate Research Center, the Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance, and the Conservation Law Foundation. During a gap semester, Saskia spent three months monitoring wildlife and excavating sea turtle nests as a volunteer at Osa Conservation, a remote research station in Costa Rica. On campus, she leads YSEC’s UN COP delegation and serves as Dwight Hall’s Yale Engagement Coordinator. When she’s not in the classroom, you can find Saskia obsessing over the NYT Spelling Bee or (unsuccessfully) hunting for secret passageways with friends.
