From 2006 to 2007 she studied French at the University of Burgundy before it by 2012 at the University of Oslo , the subjects of European and American studies and economics studies, but each did not graduate. From 2008 to 2010 she was an honorary member of the board of Natur og Ungdom , the youth organization of Norges Naturvernforbund . From 2009 she worked for the Norwegian environmental foundation Zero Emission Resource Organization (ZERO). Kaski acted as political advisor in the field of oil and gas between 2011 and 2012 and then as deputy chairwoman until 2015.

In March 2015 she was elected as the new General Secretary at an SV party convention. She held the office until March 2017, when she did not run again, but became a member of her party's working committee. In the 2017 general election , she moved into the Norwegian Parliament in Storting . She ran as SV's top candidate for the Oslo constituency and has represented it ever since. In parliament she works as deputy group leader of her party. In March 2019 she entered a crucial vote against Torgeir Knag Fylkesnes to the square as deputy party leader, but lost by 100 to 108 votes short.

Positions

In 2019, her party discussed whether to include a construction ban on wind turbines on the mainland in the SV's party program. Kaski was one of the opponents of this ban and declared that a party that took the climate threat seriously should not oppose wind turbines in rural areas as a matter of principle. The proposal ultimately failed and was not included as a target in the party program.
