Sophia Masserat, a senior, is thrilled to be returning to Tideline this year as a second-year staff writer. She has adored reading and writing from a young age, and plans to pursue a career in communications or journalism in the future. Other than journalism, she participates in Pali’s DECA chapter, Link Crew and peer tutoring. She also works at a local Italian restaurant. Outside of school, you can find her baking, listening to Taylor Swift or Gracie Abrams, reading a book (if she has time) or hanging out with Coco, her 4-year-old Maltipoo. This year, Sophia is excited to continue growing as a writer by building upon her skills to write dynamic, multifaceted stories.
