Summer Spotlight - Yasmin Gulamhusein 
American School of Dubai - Class of 2020

Yasmin is passionate about science and sustainability. This summer she will participate in a two-week internship with Energy Action Partners in Boston to learn about the sustainable energy process and gain exposure to the corporate world. She will be supplementing this with a one-week intensive lab course at Brown University to prepare for her Internship and Senior Directed Project this fall. Her internship is at Neutral Fuels, an alternative energy company that converts used cooking oil into biodiesel. She will learn about the chemical conversion process, as well as participate in scientific research. The information gathered will culminate in a final research paper for the company and her school. Already an award-winning sustainability advocate and blogger, Yasmin also hopes to use her enhanced knowledge to eventually create an outreach project to introduce this new energy to her community.
