Co-President

Sophie Molins is a coterminal master’s student in Public Policy at Stanford University, where she also earned her bachelor’s degree in Economics with a minor in History. She has spent summers as a Research Assistant at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research and the Bill Lane Center for the American West. Her love of travel has taken her abroad, from studying in Santiago, Chile, to joining a global seminar on technology and society in Argentina. At Stanford, Sophie also competed on the lightweight rowing team for four years, enjoying mornings on the bay with her teammates, including her older sister Emily. Attending Stanford alongside both of her sisters has been especially meaningful, giving her the chance to share classes and campus life with family. Looking ahead, Sophie is excited to spend time with her peers and contribute to the Public Policy community in the year to come.
