She worked at Holy Name Medical Center and as a travel nurse, caring for patients in the intensive care unit (ICU), step-down unit, and cardiac telemetry. These experiences provided Sofia with a strong clinical foundation and an appreciation for caring for patients through complex and often challenging health conditions.

Her professional background also includes serving as an adjunct professor, where she had the opportunity to educate and mentor future registered nurses.
