ABOUT
A lifelong learner, Sofia has never been content standing with the crowd. She embraces every new opportunity as a learning experience and works to perfect her craft every day. Above all, she seeks to do justice by the people who are making opening up their lives to her by letting her tell their stories with strong, sharp journalism.
As an immigrant, Sofia was exposed to the life of an underrepresented community beginning from a young age. She frequently translated for her mother, becoming her link to the English-speaking community. It became second nature to be a voice for the voiceless. Today it's her goal to break down language and cultural barriers in storytelling. She hopes this will connect multicultural audiences around the world through news that informs, educates and elicits emotion.
Sofia found her passion in political science, particularly international relations. Throughout her career, she has sought opportunities to interact with multiple governments to produce well-rounded, eye-opening pieces for her audiences. She also learned the importance of incorporating strong data in her storytelling. As a result, she embraced the field of data journalism and is skilled in conducting in-depth data analysis for investigative pieces.
After graduation from the University of Florida in May 2019, Sofia wants to immerse herself in a career that will allow her to tell cross-platform stories of people around the world in multiple languages.
