Hi everyone!!! My name is Sofia Colalillo. I am a second-year student in the Environmental and Urban Change Faculty (EUC). I am doing a double major in environmental Arts and Justice and Education and minoring in Psychology ���� ��. I am particularly interested in how I can foster a new mindset that allows me to grow my connection to our Planet Earth while learning new ways to put earth first.

SHAREE HOCHMAN

A Sociology and Rhetoric Writing Student From the University of Winnipeg

Hey there! My name is Sharee Hochman and I am in my fourth and final year as a double major student at the University of Winnipeg, studying Sociology and Rhetoric Writing and Communications. With the knowledge I gained about social dynamics and operations within Sociology and my experience with writing to inform audiences within Communications, I grew a great passion for sharing current events, public policies, and social concerns. This passion led me into my current role as a Volunteer Social Issues Writer with the online publication platform INKspire and in my current internship working within communications with the United Nations Urban Economy Forum. In my free time, I am typically working on my side project in developing an online publication and educational platform called She Breaks it Down, a space dedicated for woman to discuss theories and actions on social innovation. As someone who is driven to create conversations regarding social change, my aspiration is to take my skills abroad and learn about other countries initiatives in social innovation. If you are interested in reading more about my work in social innovation, check out my personal website which links to all my published works at shareehochman.wixsite.com/work. Additionally, feel free to contact me at shareehochman@icloud.com or through Instagram @shareehoch for any tips and tricks in exploring the communications world, travel, or just for a friendly conversation!
