IIn her undergraduate experience, Sophia studies the interconnectedness between the politics and biology of human behavior. Since human actions, on the individual and collective scale, are an extension of our thoughts and environments she believes studying divergent fields will produce empathetic solutions to systemic issues. Upon graduation, Sophia plans to join the Peace Corps and after volunteering, she will attend law school eventually finding a career that brings humanity back into the legal and political world. In her free time, Sophia enjoys yoga, coffee-shop hopping in new cities, trying new food, and exploring art museums.
