Sonja

Sonja was born and raised in North Carolina, but she now calls Washington, DC, home. Though not an Adventure Treks alum herself, her brother did seven trips with us as a middle and high schooler, which helped inspire their sibling thru-hike of the Colorado Trail! Sonja is a photographer by trade and most recently worked for Senator Maggie Hassan’s office in DC as a press assistant; previously, she was a communications intern for the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs committee. During her time at Claremont, she was a guide for the school’s freshmen orientation program, and she was also a photographer for the admissions office. She was also a photographer at a summer camp in North Carolina!
