Outside the Office

Sonia hits the roads running when she is not in the office, including half and full marathons.

She started running while studying for the bar exam as a way to alleviate stress and has kept with it since. Her first marathon was the very hilly San Francisco race. Sonia also enjoys hiking with her husband and Maltipoo, Primo.

Community Leadership
