Sophie is a person who not only takes on a lot in life, but
excels in so many areas. "She has demonstrated a dedication and
maturity in her ability to balance the demands placed upon her
academically, socially, culturally and vocationally," said Sophie's
Yr 10 Dean.
Sophie studied a Bachelor of Communications at AUT, graduating in
2009. There is a definite link, says Sophie, between the work
experience she had with Auckland City Mission and the job she took
at Christians Against Poverty (CAP) after graduating. "For me, it
has most probably kicked off a lifelong trend and outlook on life,
demographics and outreach." Sophie's leadership skills were
extended through a week-long Rotary Club leadership development
programme for 19-26 year olds (RYLA) in 2008.
Sophie is currently working in London as a product photographer and
Personal Assistant to the CEO of ADM Promotionz; an international
promotions company. Sophie has her eyes set on more travel in the
near future and hopes to spend time journeying through many of the
3rd world countries.
