Sophie Stradley-Asti
Sophie Stradley-Asti is a fifth-year Social Sciences student at UAS. She is originally from Colorado and came to Juneau on a whim. She liked it so much she stuck around! Sophie can usually be found doing crafty things around UAS housing, and on sunny days is often seen glaring at the mysterious glowing orb in the sky. In spite of her seemingly all-consuming preoccupation with glittery objects, Sophie would be glad to help you with any questions you have about UAS, as she really enjoys showing the campus off. :)
