Sophia Colonna is a writer for the Spoon University National Writers Program, where she covers things like the intersection of food, culture, identity, and everyday experiences.
Beyond Spoon University, Sophia is pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in English with minors in Natural Resource Conservation and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. She has experience in writing, communication, and community engagement through her academic work and professional roles, including teaching, customer service, and environmental volunteer work. Sophia is passionate about exploring the stories behind what we eat — from cultural traditions and sustainability to the ways food brings people together. Her background in environmental studies and the humanities informs her interest in food systems, sustainability, and the cultural histories behind everyday dishes.
Outside of academics, Sophia enjoys dancing and is a member of UMass Amherst's Dance Company. She also spends a large amount of her time with her cats and her family. She's a huge board game fanatic and makes her family play DND with her in their free time.
