Hi everyone! My name is Sophia, I’m currently a junior at SLU-Madrid studying Political Science with minors in Communications and Spanish. I’m originally from Boulder, Colorado and I joined the NewSLU team in the Fall of 2024. Coming from an Italian-American family, cooking and food is a huge passion of mine. Additionally, I love to travel and explore new languages and cultures, which is why I feel so lucky to be living in Madrid! When I am not exploring Madrid or another country I love spending my freetime in bed watching a good film. My love for journalism stems from my curiosity of the world, and my desire to connect with others and learn their stories. As a Political Science major I recognize the importance of journalism when it comes to informing the public, and I am proud to contribute to the NewSLU so others can be more aware of their community and the diverse perspectives that reside inside of it.
