Sophia Carrodeguas is a graduate student pursuing her Masters Degree in Clinical Social Work at The Catholic University of America's National Catholic School of Social Service. Sophia has been with Catholics For Family Peace since 2016 and this time has helped her to develop her professional communication and organization skills and understanding of Catholic teachings on intimate partner violence.
