Despite being the youngest of the Obama daughters, Sasha Obama has maintained a relatively private lifestyle. After her father former President Barack Obama‘s term ended in 2017, she and her older sister, Malia Obama, forged their own paths outside of Washington, D.C. After the sisters appeared at the opening ceremony for the Obama Presidential Center in June 2026, curiosity spiked again about Sasha and Malia, from their personal lives to their work. And while Malia’s portfolio as a filmmaker is public knowledge, Sasha’s job and past work aren’t well known.
Here is what we know about what Sasha does for work.
Sasha is 25 years old as of June 2026.
Sasha initially attended the University of Michigan before transferring to the University of Southern California.
While we know what her sister, Malia, does for a living, Sasha has kept her employment details private. So, it’s unclear what she does for work. According to the Los Angeles Times, she earned a bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of Southern California.
Her dad briefly discussed his youngest child’s views on the world during a previous interview with InStyle.
“Sasha is, as Malia describes it, completely confident about her own take on the world and is not cowed or intimidated — and never has been — by anybody’s titles, anybody’s credentials,” Barack explained. “If she thinks something’s wrong or right, she will say so.”
