About Sofia Santos de Oliveira

I am a Harvard senior majoring in Government and Economics with a secondary in Education Studies and a certificate in Latin American Studies. Throughout my journey, I have honed my skills across global contexts—whether preparing high-level meetings and meaningfully engaging young people at the United Nations, designing frameworks to assess education programs in India, analyzing racial discrimination in labor markets in Brazil, or leading international collaborations in Mexico. Across these experiences, I have focused on translating research into action that informs decision-making, strengthens institutions, and creates sustainable impact.I am guided by a mission to tackle systemic challenges and champion innovative solutions that ultimately promote equity and opportunity. My trajectory is inspired by a belief in the power of research and policy to transform lives and create pathways for underserved communities to thrive. Looking ahead, my goal is to leverage analytical rigor and strategic judgment to tackle multifaceted challenges and deliver solutions that create measurable, long-lasting impact.
