About

Hi! I'm Sonya, an intern at Highwater Investment who is researching and evaluating banking and finance companies for inclusion in the Highwater SRI fund.  I was born in Oakland, but my family left after one year to run a youth hostel in rural Pennsylvania and then we moved to Seattle, so I'm excited to be back in the Bay Area for the summer.

Over the years, I've been involved in a variety of causes, including child labor, anti-racism, mediation and conflict resolution, and disposal of hazardous electronic wastes. Before starting college, I took a year off to join a political theater group and performed pieces on domestic abuse, poverty, drugs, and multiculturalism at schools and community centers across WA, OR, CA, and NV.

Next year I'll be finishing my economics B.S. at American University and thinking about how to turn my interest in social justice into a career. Please drop me a line to say hi!

I think that I shall never see
A poem lovely as a tree.
A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
Against the earth's sweet flowing breast;
A tree that looks at God all day
And lifts her leafy arms to pray;
A tree that may in Summer wear
A nest of robins in her hair;
Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
Who intimately lives with rain.
Poems are made by fools like me,
But only God can make a tree.


~ Joyce Kilmer
from 'Trees', 1914 ~
