Hello ya’ll! My name is V & I use They/Them pronouns. I’m studying Psychology with a specialization in Neuroscience, & am minoring in Global Public Health & Global Poverty & Practice. I’m a nontraditional re-entry (25+) transfer student!

Hey, I am Saskia! I am a transfer, low-income, out-of-state AB540, Mad, Neurodivergent, Trans/Queer student from Indonesia with lived experience with mental health systems studying Philosophy and Interdisciplinary Studies Field (ISF). I am an abolitionist and anti-capitalist who moves through the world with a disability justice and pleasure activist framework, and I hope to reflect that when interacting with you! I believe that we have different relationships with money and that knowing ourselves and building literacy is important to survive in this capitalist world. I am happy to assist with understanding the basics of debit and credit, advocating our wants and needs as part of our spending, talking about mental health and money, brainstorming how to feed ourselves and nourish, and managing scholarships and student loans. In my free time I love painting, drawing, making videos, writing, and cuddling with my emotional support cats.
