Swiss Army Knife Product Marketer. Empathetic Leader.

Hey, I’m Sofia! I’m a customer obsessed product marketer that thrives by giving 125% every day.

I learned humility, failure, how to win, how to lose, and the definition of teamwork starting at the age 4 until 22 by playing competitive basketball.

I learned how to create successful content and campaigns by understanding end-users and by listening to customer-facing teammates—from sales to CS—so I can create delightful end-to-end experiences, and understanding the fine balance of what they need and what the business needs.

I learned to be an empathetic leader and marketer through adversity and life changing events in my personal life.
