Immediate Plans

To teach sixth-grade English for the next two years with Teach for America in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

Sofia earned a BA with distinction in journalism and a BA with distinction in philosophy, with a minor in philosophy, politics, and economics (PPE). She executive-produced the Hussman School of Journalism and Media’s radio newsmagazine, Carolina Connection, and won two awards for reporting. Sofia also worked in the Parr Center for Ethics as an Ethics Scholar and was consistently involved with the PPE department. While at Carolina, Sofia discovered a new love for portrait essay photography and mathematical logic, which she hopes to continue pursuing.
