Sophia Balunek is a senior majoring in Geography with a minor in Wildlife Biology from Cleveland, Ohio. She joined the Cynic her first-year as a staff photographer, then became Photo Editor her sophomore year, and stepped up to Editor-in-Chief her junior year. Outside of the Cynic, she has produced independent photography projects the past two summers. One was a multimedia project with Platte Basin Timelapse called Momentary Encounters about people’s relationships to birds in Lincoln, Nebraska, in which she received the Environmental Program’s Ian Worley Award. In the other, she documented the work of an international charitable foundation in Kenya. In her free time, Sophia enjoys birding, photography and reading.
