Outside of her contributions to Spoon University, she is a junior at the University of California majoring in Political Science and minoring in Public Policy.

In school, she is involved in many groups, including their chapter of the American Civil Liberties Union. She has reported on regional news for local newspapers and nonprofits in the Bay Area. Sophia also contributed to an on-campus magazine, The Vanguard at Berkeley, covering criminal justice and prison reform topics. Sophia loves spending time with her friends by going on hikes in the Berkeley hills or taking a day trip to the North Bay for amazing views in her free time. She continues her love of food beyond Spoon University, being a self-taught baker who frequently makes treats for friends and family members. While she is always attempting new recipes, her signature continues to be ginger molasses cookies.
