Hello everyone! My name is Sofia, and I am going into my third year of a four-year Bachelor of Education at UVic. When I’m not in Victoria for school, I can usually be found at home in West Vancouver reading, crocheting, sewing, and creating other random physical media projects.
I took my first EdTech class in the fall, and I loved how it allowed me to create a space for reflection and curation of useful resources. I am really looking forward to continuing my growth in the area of EdTech this summer and discovering new ways to think about technology.
I have also just completed my first practicum in a Grade 6 classroom, so I am excited to absorb new learning in the hopes of making my teaching practice as inclusive, exciting, and meaningful as I can as I move forward with my next practicums and lesson-planning assignments.
As I previously mentioned, I love to read! One of my favourite authors is Jane Austen, but I love to read books of any genre. I also love sewing and crocheting. I have been sewing since I was around 10 years old, and crocheting for a few years. I love both because they allow me to create my own things from scratch and make things for the treasured people in my life.
As for music, I mainly listen to pop music by Taylor Swift, Olivia Rodrigo, Sabrina Carpenter, Harry Styles, and Conan Gray. I also love folk and alternative music, but don’t always know where to start, so let me know if you have any suggestions!

Hi Sofia!
Wow you are so creative! I love how your hobbies are both relaxing and productive. Hearing about them is inspiring me to take up more activities like those myself.
I also love to read, although I sometimes find it difficult to set aside time to pick up a book. I was wondering if you have any recommendations for navigating that, or if you could share when during the day you usually find time to read?
You mentioned that one of your favourite authors is Jane Austen, and I am a huge fan of her work as well, particularly “Pride and Prejudice”. The 2005 film is amazing, and I recently purchased the novel, which I am eager to begin.
The book I currently have open is “Dangerous Liaisons” by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos. I would love to hear more about your book preferences and chat about them if you are open to it. It has always been a dream of mine to participate in a book club.
Thanks again for your post.
