Saskia holds a BA in Sociology with a minor in Ethnology from Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg and an MA in Social and Cultural Anthropology from Freie Universität Berlin. Her master thesis is based on a three-month ethnographic field research in Mexico City and lies at the intersection of feminist and medical anthropology. The thesis set out to explore the ways in which autonomous midwives of a feminist collective navigate their doings as autonomous midwives, inherently entangled in gendered body politics, while simultaneously engaging in radical self-care as a means of resistance. Her academic, as well as her personal interests, revolve mainly around discourses regarding gender inequalities.

She is currently working as a program coordinator at the Institute of Sociology at Freie Universität Berlin.
