“Sofia is an avid violist and chamber musician, and previously played with the Boston Youth Symphony as well as attending Greenwood Senior Camp for several years. She loves all things food, and you can catch her tasting cheeses at Formaggio or staging at restaurants such as Theodora in Brooklyn, NY. She is happy to help students feel self-sufficient and confident in their ability to engage their curiosity, meet challenges enthusiastically, and ask deeper questions about their learning.“
