Biography

submitted by the candidate or their team
Sophia is a passionate community activist and former Parliamentary Assistant dedicated to improving public transit, affordable housing, and healthcare while fighting for Ottawa’s most vulnerable.

For Sophia, Ottawa has provided her with the opportunities to embrace her passion for community activism. From door-knocking and petitioning to ban fossil fuel advertising, fundraising for an Indigenous landback legal trust and volunteering on the Hill, Sophia has dedicated her time outside of her studies to contributing to the Ottawa community.

Her volunteering on the hill for Green Party of Canada leader and MP Elizabeth May led to two consecutive summer jobs as Parliamentary Assistant. In this role, Sophia wrote letters to several ministers, researched and submitted consultations, communicated regularly with Elizabeth’s constituents, attended committees and provided assistance on the ground to the MP as needed. Aside from work, she cares for her many houseplants and decompresses with a book in the park.

Sophia’s passion extends into her goals for the Ottawa community, which include: improving Ottawa’s lack of consistent and quality public transit; addressing the housing affordability crisis by listening to those most vulnerable, such as students and those on fixed-incomes; increasing supports for halfway homes and emergency shelters; pressing for intergovernmental cooperation on food prices and opposing the privatization of healthcare.

These days, communities need a champion to fight for them, and Sophia is the one to take your concerns all the way to Queen’s Park!
