Sofia Colasante is a writer for Her Campus at Carleton. Her articles cover a wide range of topics that come from issues of personal and popular interest.
Sofia is a first year student in the School of Journalism and Communication, doing an undergraduate degree in Communication and Media Studies. With an academic focus on math and science throughout her high school career, Sofia used visual art as her creative outlet until an interest in writing began to emerge. This took her academic journey in a new direction and now Sofia enjoys writing to help improve her literary voice while she explores her interests, expresses her opinions, and challenges her views. Sofia credits her Italian family and spending the first nine years of her education learning in French with her appreciation for diversity and her lasting impression of how culture and traditions shape our world.
Sports and fitness have always been a big part of Sofia's extracurricular life. She started skiing at the age of two, which led to winters filled with alpine ski racing and summers filled with kayak racing or soccer. Music, books, movies, and baking round out Sofia's leisure activities when she's in the mood for something more laid back. Off campus, Sofia works part time in the food and beverage industry and likes to recharge by relaxing at home with her dog by her side.
