Bio
Jennifer Zuazo
I had the opportunity of meeting Sophie while we both attended Sonoma State University and joined Alpha Delta Pi. She is extremely hardworking and driven, which is why I'm so thrilled to see her be one step closer to her goal of becoming a lawyer. I am so impressed with how hard she works and know that she will be an asset wherever she chooses to go. Sophie is passionate, caring, and maintains a positive, fantastic attitude even in high-stress situations. She was an essential asset to our sorority as Scholarship Chair and excelled in the position every day she held the title.
