Sahas Sok graduated from the University of Portland with a degree in civil engineering. When stepping foot on the Manhattan subway system, and riding public transportation in Portland and San Francisco, Sahas took a special interest in traffic and transportation engineering. Sahas studied abroad at Lund University in Sweden, where she took her favorite class, critical infrastructure resilience. Sahas hopes to improve the efficiency, resiliency and sustainability in transportation and water resource management in Cambodia.

When she’s was not in class, Sahas was an undergraduate researcher for the civil engineering department at her school working on Water Supply and Wildfire Risk in Oregon. Before coming to the U.S. until now, Sahas has been a part of many projects to further develop Cambodia and even started her own project called Yes Student Network (YSN) in 2019. YSN was created with the goal of igniting a passion for STEM in high school students living in more rural provinces of Cambodia. Her passion for getting more women into STEM led her to be a project support officer, content creator, ambassador leader, Robotic Program Officer and World Robotic Olympic Cambodia Judging Coordinator at STEM Education Organization for Cambodia where she continues to help not just women and girls but everyone participating in World Robotic Olympia.
