A perfectionist at heart, Sophia Gorba has dedicated her time in the newsroom to writing multiple drafts of each story and creating designs for pages (with an absurd amount of layers on InDesign) during her time as Feature Editor last year. Now rounding off her high school experience as a senior, Gorba is excited to meet new people, grow her writing skills and see how the Falconer will evolve throughout the year and beyond. She intends to spend her third year on the Falconer staff using her eye for detail to properly represent local happenings and the individual stories of people in the community. Gorba’s perfectionist tendencies extend outside of the newsroom to her hobbies as well, having dedicated far too much of her spare time to painstakingly sewing dresses and painting with watercolors and acrylics. Gorba can also be found at her Taekwondo studio working towards a black belt, spending time with friends and family, getting immersed in information rabbit holes and baking (even though she unfortunately does not have the skillset nor the correct nationality to apply for The Great British Bake Off). In her most relaxed state, Gorba enjoys sitting down with a good book, a cup of coffee and a potentially hazardous amount of scented candles.
