I am thrilled to announce that Sophie Burke will join our team as an Associate Regional Director starting July 22nd.

Sophie graduated this May from the University of Notre Dame with a major in Marketing and a minor in Studio Art. She grew up in Tunkhannock located in the valley of mountains in Northeast, PA.

As a student, Sophie worked for ND Listens for 3 years where she had the privilege to connect with alumni, friends, and family of the University, hear their ND stories, and share her own. This deepened her appreciation for Notre Dame and the privilege of belonging to this community. As an Associate Regional Director on the Annual Giving Team, she is excited to give back to the place that fostered her growth and strive to live forth the mission of growing good in the world.

Get to know Sophie:

• After graduation, she road-tripped out West with stops in The Badlands, Mt. Rushmore, Crazy Horse, Grand Tetons, Yellowstone, Lake Tahoe, San Francisco, San Diego and Manhattan Beach.
• She grew up with two dogs: Boo Radley and Jo March. In July, her family just added a 3rd, golden retriever puppy, Mr. Darcy. (Is it obvious my mom is an English teacher?)
• 22 is her lucky number. She celebrates the 22nd of every month accordingly! Only fitting that her first day is July 22nd. Destined to be a great day!
• She loves to create and travel with a sketchbook. Mostly 2D, but she is most proud of the semester she learned to weld in metal sculpture.
