Twine (Taylor's Version)
The first ever album downloaded to my iPod shuffle at 8 years old, was Taylor Swift's sophomore album, Fearless. Ever since then I have most likely spent a tuition payment's amount of money on merch, vinyl records, and concert tickets to the Era's Tour. Therefore there was no better subject to base my Twine experience off of.
The Kombucha Chronicles
On the first sunny day of Spring semester, Table 4 took a journey they'd never forget involving friendship, a spontaneous bus ride, tragedy, and a bubbly drink whose pictures were lost to time. This story was created using Thinglink.

Maine Mill Digital Curation
In Spring 2024 I worked with the Maine Mill Museum in Lewiston, Maine in curating a digital memorial. The digital space will act as a permanent space holding the events, and the stories of the victims related to the October 2023 mass shooting that occurred in Lewiston.
There were two separate teams within the curation group: print and social media. I assisted the print team in finding content from student news organizations related to the tragedy, converted them into pdfs, and documented each within a shared spreadsheet. This project will be ongoing as Maine Mill obtains more media content for their final memorial.
KEY ACHIEVEMENTS
- Sophia was named on the UNH' dean's list in the Fall of 2022 for honors, Spring of 2023 for highest honors, and Fall of 2023 for highest honors. In addition to academics, she was recognized in the 11th season of the International Just a Minute Film Festival. Her short film, Holding the Past was named Best Youth Film​​
