Holi! I'm Sofía (she/they), a non-binary freelance journalist from Puerto Rico who currently resides in Brooklyn. I’ve written about queerness, Latinidad, music, culture, wellness, astrology, & shopping.

My work has been published on Refinery29, PS, Women’s Health, Remezcla, Teen Vogue, NYLON, & Business Insider. I have a journalism degree from Rutgers University. I’m always open to take on work, so let’s connect! <3
