SONIA / EMILY

CHARACTER: SONIA JARRETT

Sonia Jarrett was raised in the Washington DC area by two politicians. After earning her Bachelor’s degree in Psychology from the University of Illinois, she returned to the DC area to start a Mental Health Clinic after the war devastated so many hearts and minds of civilians and soldiers alike. She is a survivor of emotional abuse and now, along with reaching her Junior Advocate Certification, she is also pursuing a Master’s Degree in Empathic Counseling from Georgetown University. Sonia is a fierce friend who wants nothing more than to heal the world and prevent injustice.
