Sofia (She/Her) – I’m the Deputy Editor & Media Partnership Manager at Thred, specialising in exclusive articles and live interviews, fashion and beauty with a focus on sustainability, women’s rights, psychedelics, and Latin America. I studied Spanish at the University of Exeter and International Journalism at City, London. Follow me on Twitter, LinkedIn, and drop me some ideas/feedback via email.
Hi, I’m Sofia, and I’m the Deputy Editor & Media Partnership Manager at Thred. I also work closely with Gen Zers from around the world on exclusive articles and live interviews to promote the inspiring work they’re doing to make the world a better place.
During my time at the University of Exeter where I studied Spanish, I chose to spend my year abroad teaching English in Argentina and working as a journalist in Colombia before travelling across the continent with my camera.
Returning to the UK to pursue a Masters in International Journalism and an internship at National Geographic Traveller, I eventually found myself at Thredโs doors.
Now, I balance my time between obsessing over mushrooms, practising yoga in the middle of the office, and telling everyone about the new song I just learned to play on the bass guitar.

Opinion โ we arenโt worried enough about our attention spans
Though people are discussing it openly online and trends have emerged to address it, our ability to concentrate is deteriorating by the day. Why does nobody seem that concerned? Two things Iโve noticed recently โ both while commuting to work. For one, that all I ever seem to see these days is people looking down, staring blankly at the screen in their hands.

Will the UKโs new spiking laws be effective?
Seeking to ensure the safety of women and girls in Britain, the government is cracking down on this growing epidemic. With gender-based violence almost at a breaking point, however, the pledge must be matched with systemic change if itโs to make a tangible difference. Itโs common knowledge that gender-based violence (VAWG) is an ever-worsening issue throughout the UK and that local authorities arenโt doing nearly enough to...
iโm grateful for my people
itโs always a good idea to talk things through. When youโre struggling with your mental health, the first piece of advice youโre usually given is to ask for help โ to be honest about it with someone you trust. Anyone whoโs experienced the feeling of being at war with themselves, however, will know that itโs never that simple. In this headspace, the mind can be unnecessarily cruel, coercing us into believing...

An alarming new assessment has revealed that the number of threatened trees now outweighs all threatened birds, mammals, reptiles and amphibians put together. According to the IUCNโs Red List of Threatened Species, a third of the worldโs trees are now at risk of extinction.

Cambridge Dictionaryโs word of the year is โmanifestโ
Meaning โdreamโ or โwilling something into existence,โ it beat out โbratโ and โdemureโ after a surge of celebrity-inspired popularity on social media. Clearly, 2024 was all about positive thinking. โManifestโ has been named word of the year by Cambridge Dictionary. Though itโs more than six centuries old, itโs been given new life on social media as of late, thanks to a slew of celebrities whoโve been using it to describe how...
Global warming confirmed to be supercharging deadly weather
A database of hundreds of studies compiled by Carbon Brief has provided overwhelming proof that previously โimpossibleโ heatwaves would have had virtually zero chance of happening without the additional heat trapped by fossil fuel emissions. Confirming what most of us already suspected, a new analysis has provided overwhelming proof that human activity is to blame for the ever-increasing intensification of deadly weather across the planet. โThis study should...
What are the Taliban doing at COP29?
The fundamentalist group is attending the summit for the first time since its violent return to power in 2021. Though objections have been raised, poverty-stricken Afghanistan is ranked as one of the most vulnerable countries to the climate crisis and itโs for this reason that hosts in Azerbaijan extended the invitation. In 2021, the world watched in horror as the Taliban, taking advantage of Americaโs withdrawal from the region,...
Everything you need to know about COP
The 29th session of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change is kicking off in Baku, Azerbaijan, and will be continuing for the next two weeks. Whatโs the purpose of the annual summit, whatโs the focus this year, and after almost three decades of discussions, can we be hopeful that theyโll actually make an impact this time? Every year since the mid-1990s, world...
Why young people are turning their backs on busyness
These days, without the promise of a home, a salary, and a future on a healthy planet, it makes sense that Gen Zers are quitting the rat race. Exhausted, overwhelmed, and on the brink of total collapse, the concept of โsoft livingโ has never seemed more appealing. Ever since the end of pandemic, thereโs been a brewing backlash against hustle culture. Triggeredย by Molly-Maeโs controversial โwe...
Are cigarettes on trend again?
Amid the resurgence of smoking among celebrities and influencers, a recent study shows that 57 per cent of young people think itโs fashionable, despite the risks being so well-known.
Of every trend to make a comeback, smoking was an unlikely contender.
