Sophia Koss
Social Media Chair
My name is Sophia Koss and I am going to be a sophomore at Tufts University this fall majoring in Biology on the pre-med track. Last year I was a member of KIN and participated at the West Somerville Neighborhood School program. I really enjoyed going through the lessons and working with the kids. This year I am taking on the role of Social Media Chair. I worked as the part of the social media team for another club last year, so I am looking forward to contributing to the KIN social media this year. In my free time I enjoy cooking, swimming at the lake, going on walks, and doing crafts.
