About
Sophia has been the Disability Resource Center Director at the University of Illinois at Chicago since December of 2018 and the Senior Director supervising both student and employee accommodations since June of 2026.
She believes strongly that universally accessible education is fundamental to a socially just society, and is honored to be of service to the UIC community. Her career in higher ed access services began at Kennedy-King College (one of the City Colleges of Chicago), where she managed student accommodations, trained faculty on accessibility and Universal Design, and served as advisor for the Access Ability Alliance, KKC’s campus disability pride club.
Fun facts: Sophia is originally from Tacoma, Washington. She has a kid in her local CPS elementary, and loves gardening, biking, reading, playing drums, and performance art! She is specifically interested in inclusive math pedagogy and delights in taking UIC math classes when she can squeeze them in.
