Sophia Borzilleri was born and raised on the east end of Long Island, in two rural towns steeped in American history. 
Sophia graduated from Tufts University with a double major in Philosophy and Cognitive Psychology. 
After over a year in a demanding strategic role in New York City, she took a six-month hiatus to travel around the world—​​​​​​​seeking new experiences and dedicating time to her photography.
