The Wildcat

Sofia Rodriguez

Sofia Rodriguez, Co-Editor-in-Chief

Sofia Rodriguez, senior, looks forward to being the Co-Editor-in-Chief for her third and final year with the Wildcat. Through research, interaction, and caffeine-fueled writing sprints, she hopes to use her knowledge from over three years on staff to maintain the value and vibrancy of the Wildcat.

When not poring over paragraphs with a coffee in hand, you’ll find her screaming her favorite lyrics at local indie concerts or laying out pages for a new Inkwell Literary Magazine issue. With endless love for creative writing, she’ll never pass up a chance to drag her friends to a Night Owl poetry open mic or start a new fiction project. She also advances her passion in medicine through the Health Occupations Students of America (HOSA) program, the National Honors Society of Sports Medicine (NHSSM), and volunteering at Providence St. Jude Medical Center.

She spends the rest of her time raising her Minecraft wolves or adventuring with her friends, and hopes to bring the expertise and collaboration skills from the Wildcat into her future endeavors.
