Sophia Wilson is a 19-year-old, Fresno born and raised, sophomore at Fresno City College, thrilled to begin her journey with The Rampage. She is currently double majoring in Business Administration and Journalism, with plans to transfer to a four-year university next year to pursue a degree in Journalism with an emphasis in Public Relations. Sophia aspires to build a career in public relations and believes that a strong foundation in journalism is essential to understanding media from the inside out.

In high school, Sophia fell in love with theater production and has since become deeply involved in both campus and community theatre. At FCC, she worked on Hand to God as part of the backstage crew and served as Assistant Stage Manager for Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play. She has also stage-managed several productions, including Peter and the Starcatcher, Harvey, and Anything Goes at Bullard High School. Beyond campus, Sophia is expanding her presence in the local theatre scene. She recently stage-managed What the Constitution Means to Me with UR Theatre Company, ran sound for Seussical the Musical with Selma Arts Center, and operated spotlight for Hadestown Jr. at Selma Arts Center. Upcoming credits include stage-managing FCC’s Salome and Switch Cabaret.

This is Sophia’s first semester formally studying journalism, and she brings to it a mix of curiosity and excitement. When she’s not in the theater, you can usually find her in the library with homework spread across the table, wishing she was reading a book while listening to the rain.
