Another factor that contributed to her success in her new career was her educational background.

Sonja has also been involved with various non-profit organizations along with participating in leadership programs such as "Leadership Redmond". Apart from that, she has been an active Chamber member, and board member of Volunteer Connect and Eagle Mountain where she has volunteered her time in community outreach fundraising events, training, coaching, and mentoring others.
