Sophia Birman is a Staff Reporter and a News Editor for ‘The Science Survey,’ where, in addition to writing articles herself, she edits many of her peers’ News pieces. She thoroughly enjoys the thought-provoking research and meaning behind journalistic writing that produces captivating stories. She believes that journalistic writing is the key to spreading awareness, not only about monumental events, but also about seemingly insignificant stories that paint a bigger picture of society as a whole. Furthermore, Sophia is enthusiastic about photojournalism, as she believes that photos can truly make a writing piece come to life, and even provide a new perspective that was not otherwise included. Outside of school, Sophia enjoys skiing, traveling around the world, sightseeing, and creative writing. She also has a deep passion for learning about current events related to politics, particularly international relations. As a result, she relishes the ability to spread information regarding these events through journalism, as well as through spoken word. She is ultimately fascinated by foreign policy and thus plans to study international relations in college.
