Hello my name is Sofie Tapia. I was born and raised in Lexington Kentucky, the horse capitol of the world. I am half African, my father is from Gabon in western africa. My mother raised me along with my oldest brother. For high school I left Kentucky to go to boarding school in Cleveland, Ohio. My junior year, however, I left the country to study in Lille in northern France. I still cannot speak french sadly enough. Traveling is one of my passions that I hope to continue throughout my life and hopefully with my job. My career ambition is to be a reporter for a major news company and even aspire to have my own show one day.
