Sophia Hooper
Research and Radio Intern (she/her)
Sophia’s Puerto Rican and Italian roots guaranteed she was thinking about food from a young age. Born in Los Angeles but now living in New England, Sophia has worked in restaurants, bars, farmers’ markets and organic farms on both coasts, learning everything she can about small food operations. She holds a B.A. in Political Science and International Affairs from Northeastern University, where she studied security and terrorism before deciding to focus on her real passion: the intersection of food, culture, and politics. Sophia spends her free time making clothes, cooking for friends and family, and researching her ever-growing travel list.
