Sofia Fallas

I am a proud first-generation student and daughter of Costa Rican immigrants. From a young age, my parents instilled in me the importance of education in order to pursue my career goals further down the road. During my time as an undergraduate student at Saint Joseph’s University, I had the opportunity to work in the Office of Undergraduate Admission as the Admission Intern. Throughout my experience, I came to find that I had a love for working with families and students, to make the admission process transparent and easy to navigate. This experience brought me to the realization that a career in admission would allow me to be a resource for students now that I needed when I was a high school student applying to college back then. Since I have completed my first year at Saint Joseph’s as an Admission Counselor, I have been able to plan our Walk With a Hawk shadow experience, assist in planning other events, and grow further as a professional in my career. Outside of the office, you can find me exploring all that Philadelphia has to offer; its history and amazing food scene is too good to pass.
