PhiloSOFI
(get it hehe)
I'm Sofi. I'm a middle child (if that wasn't apparent by my career choice). I love getting my energy out in any form of physical activity. Sunrise rollerskating, deep conversations, and coffee shop trips are my love language.
I've shared the stage with Lyle Lovett, Jane Seymour, and many names you wouldn't recognize but mean just as much to me. I've been everything from the DewDrop fairy in THE NUTCRACKER to Wednesday Addams in THE ADDAMS FAMILY. But my favorite thing I've ever done is run a dance program for the past 3 years. Building trust with the next generation and pushing them past their goals has taught me how to push myself and rekindled my love for the WORK.
