About

Sophia is originally from Boston, MA but grew up in Charlotte, NC. She graduated from UNC Chapel Hill with a BSPH in Health Policy & Management and a minor in Chemistry. After graduation, she moved to Washington, DC and spent two years working in healthcare market research, focusing on value-based care and its implementation across health systems and plans. She is drawn to internal medicine for its emphasis on synthesizing complex clinical information and navigating care decisions with patients. She loved her IM rotation as a 3rd year in Wilmington in part due to the teaching and support she received from her peers, residents, and attendings. Sophia is excited to foster that same supportive and collaborative learning environment in her role as medical student chief.
