Sofia was born in Great Falls, Montana but moved to New Jersey (where she now proudly calls home) in 2014. She is currently an undergraduate student at Princeton University in the Psychology Department with certificates in Neuroscience and Spanish. She is particularly interested in studying why children feel the way they do and how their mental health develops based on the environmental and genetic factors they grow up with and around. She hopes to pursue these interests as they apply to child psychiatry, and is specifically interested in the way that emotional regulation in childhood can be used to predict and/or combat mental health concerns throughout development and into adulthood. In her free time, she loves to visit her puppy Willow, travel, and catch up on much needed sleep.
