Sonia is thrilled to be a part of the Raise team here in Utah! As she is new to Utah, she's not new to Raise as she was a part of the Raise Las Vegas team for 2 years prior as the Office and Program Coordinator. She has earned her degree in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice from the University of Nevada, Las Vegas and since then has dedicated her career to working with communities in need. Through the years, she's gained experience working alongside autism non-profit organizations and the foster care community. Quickly, she soon realized that her true passion lies in working hands-on with the youth we serve and soon found herself applying for the Youth Connections Advocate position. Outside of the office, you can find her reading mystery/thriller novels, watching Bollywood movies or hunting down a local coffee shop!
