Sofia Ackerman is a senior at North Allegheny. Born in Germantown, Maryland, Sofia moved to Wexford last summer. This is her second year as an NA Tiger, and she is loving every moment of it. She is passionate about music, having learned to competently play the piano, violin, viola, upright and electric bass, and ukulele. She also enjoys creating ridiculously complicated stories and worlds in her free time. Sofia is slowly working on learning both sign language and Japanese and should really focus on learning one at a time. She’s more likely to be found editing a new article than working on one of her own… oops.
