Sophia discovered her passion for the circus as a child. To this day, circus is her great hobby and is associated with a great deal of joy and passion. She attended many different circus training courses, completed theater pedagogy training in Zurich and a year of circus pedagogy training in Fribourg. In 2022, she decided to get a taste of circus for a year at Cirque Intense. There she specialized in the trapeze and swung through the air. In addition to her own projects with children and teenagers, she is an enthusiastic circus trainer.
