Meet Sophie Healey: Dedicated Philanthropist

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Elon chapter.

What year are you: Senior

What is your Major/Minor: Major: Human Service. Minor: Business Administration

Where are you from: I lived in North Palm Beach, FL until I was 16 but, both my parents are from the UK, so I moved there my junior year of high school.

What are you most involved with on campus, and how has that affected you: I am most involved with Elonthon. It has given me a way to work toward something I am passionate about, while raising money and giving back to the community.

How has Elonthon become such an important part of your life: Both my sister and best friend are cancer survivors, and in the last three years I have raised over $20,000 to help children like them. This year I am on the executive committee for Elonthon as the director of catering and fundraising to help as much as I could during my final year. Those 24 hours have been some of the best in my life. Seeing the children we help and hearing their stories while our community stands together to help those who can’t help themselves is an unforgettable experience, and I love every minute of it.

What are your plans after graduation: After graduation I plan on attending grad school in the UK.

What is your dream job: My dream job would be working for a nonprofit to help children with cancer and their families.
