In one word: multifaceted!

Sasha is CCL’s Latinos Engagement Fellow, 2022-2023! She is currently a senior at Juniata College.

Throughout her life, Sasha has always been involved in activism. Climate advocacy was a perfect fit for her passion for the environment. She is currently a senior at Juniata College in Huntingdon, Pennsylvania, studying environmental science and English, but she originally hails from Bronx, NY. This semester, she is studying abroad in Cork, Ireland!

Currently, she serves as the Latinos Engagement Fellow, working with the Latinos Engagement Team. Some of her responsibilities include: attending and participating in weekly debrief meetings, reaching out to and welcoming new members, and running the Latinos Engagement Instagram, which enables her to research and cultivate posts about all things Latino and Climate. Through her fellowship, she hopes to expand her knowledge about the current climate and find ways to work towards a solution she can implement in her daily life. She also hopes to gain professional experience participating in the climate advocacy community. Although she is not involved in other organizations, she hopes to use CCL as a stepping stone to familiarize herself with more organizations she can be a part of.

Sasha is a life-long learner and loves to learn new things! She has a myriad of hobbies because she wants to experience as much of the world as possible. Her favorite movie is Legends of the Fall, her favorite show is Fleabag or Stranger Things, her favorite book is Little Women by Louisa May Alcott, and her favorite band is The 1975. Sasha also has a leopard gecko named Pharrell Williams!

Sasha’s work towards creating a more inclusive and diverse space for minorities in climate advocacy is crucial in cultivating climate leaders of all backgrounds. We are lucky to have her!
