About Sophia
Sophia joined the Buell team in 2024 as a Production Assistant. She grew up in San Diego, California and moved to Bellingham, Washington to attend Western Washington University where she graduated with a Bachelor of Arts in Political Science and a minor in English in 2019. Sophia is currently enrolled in the ALA accredited Master of Library and Information Science degree program at the San José State University School of Information, and her dream job is to work as an archivist of film and sound. Prior to her employment at Buell, she had a variety of jobs in the food service industry including being a cheese monger at an organic dairy farm, a baker at an Italian restaurant, a bartender at a cocktail bar and music venue, a sous chef at a vegetarian brunch spot, and a pizzolo at a woodfired pizza restaurant.
Outside of work and school, Sophia enjoys walking her dogs Bean and Marmalade, going on trail runs, taking film photos, reading sad Russian novels, watching old movies, going to concerts, braving the Goodwill bins, and baking a variety of treats. She lives with her dogs and fiancé on Vashon Island, and the commute across the sound via foot ferry is the most picturesque she’s ever had.
