Sophia Kopko

Law School Candidate
St. Petersburg,FL

Summary

As an Environmental Studies and Political Science double major and International Relations and Global affairs minor at Eckerd College, I am eager to jumpstart my career in the field of environmental law/policy. I am a determined, responsible, diligent, and passionate individual with a will to make an impact in every position I hold.

I am highly skilled in leadership, public speaking, strategic planning, teamwork, ability to work under pressure, and communication.

During my time at Eckerd, I was a member and captain of the women's soccer program. I also worked for the Office of Admissions as a board member for the student ambassador program giving tours and organizing admissions events. In addition, I was a 4 year member of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee and served as president for the 2020-21 school year. My experiences at Eckerd College have contributed significantly to my leadership, communication, and organizational skills.
