Through this role and her consulting practice, Sofia has partnered with nonprofit organizations across Oregon on fundraising strategy, organizational development, and large-scale project management. She is passionate about supporting community-driven initiatives that strengthen membership, build collective power, and advance long-term systems change.
Sofia is committed to ensuring Oregon remains a safe, healthy, and thriving place for all. She brings a long-term, systems-oriented perspective to her work, with a focus on aligning mission, strategy, and sustainable funding to support lasting impact.
In her free time, Sofia is an avid traveler, loves Latin dancing, is a proud dog mama, and enjoys spending time outdoors exploring Oregon’s landscapes.
