A woman stands on a stack of rocks, with her arms out.

My name is Sophie Schmidt, and I’m a professional writing major with a minor in Asian Pacific American Studies. This past summer I used my Citizen Scholars funding to intern abroad in Dublin, Ireland. Here at MSU I’m the historian of Asian Pacific American Student Organization, a co-editing director of VIM Magazine, and I work for Citizen Scholars as a student liaison. After graduation I hope to work as an acquisitions editor.
