Sophia is currently finishing her master’s degrees in Political Science and Political and Economic Philosophy at Leiden University, which has engendered an interest in democratic stability, social security and EU relations. During her bachelor’s degree, she did an internship at the Dutch newspaper de Volkskrant, and together with three fellow students she managed public relations for the Leiden Institute of Philosophy.
