Sophia Robele

Sophia graduated with a Communication Studies major, International Studies minor, and Civic Engagement certificate. At Northwestern, she participated in various service and human rights-oriented student groups such as the fraternity Alpha Phi Omega, Northwestern University’s Conference on Human Rights, Amnesty International, and NU Bahá’í club, and served as a volunteer shift leader for Campus Kitchens. She was a member of both the Indian fusion dance team Mirch Masala and club rugby. Outside of school, she served as a volunteer at the Ethiopian Community Association of Chicago, and interned for non-profits like WorldChicago, the Baha’i Office of Public of Affairs in D.C., and IDEAS Association in Paris. Her interests include drawing and painting, cultural and interfaith activities, belly-dance, and travel. Inspired by her study abroad experiences in Madagascar and Paris, she hopes to continue seeking out new adventures and to pursue a career in international development. She is looking forward to learning as much as possible from all the new people she will come across through living and working in Johannesburg next year.
