Can you tell us a little bit about yourself? Sofia Paiva : I am a 20-year-old college student of Psychology (at the University of Saint Joseph) and I still have two more years to go. My ambition is to become a psychologist. In addition to improving everybody’s physical health, it’s equally important to take care of our mental wellness since mental illnesses such as depression and mood disorders are very common these days. I want to dedicate myself to helping those in need. I’m from a family of four and I am very close to my Dad, Mom and elder brother. My parents mean the whole word to me and I have been taught to give love to the people I care about and love. I have Chinese- Portuguese lineage so I have been enjoying the essences of both cultures.
