Bio

Hello! I'm Sofia, a high school senior who has a passion for learning about everything. I have so many dream careers, from uncovering ancient secrets as an archeologist to discovering the cure for cancer as a biomedical engineer. During school, I lead several clubs that work toward making an impact in my community. From creating cards for veterans to having female guest speakers in STEM speak to students, I work to encourage community engagement among club members. No matter what career I end up in, I would like to have the biggest positive impact I can have on people. I also love the outdoors and hope to travel during college, exploring different countries and cultures.
