Originally from Caithness, Sophia has enjoyed numerous family holidays to the Badenoch and Strathspey. She always loved visiting and more recently decided to make the move to the area. Her working background was originally as a zookeeper at Edinburgh Zoo where she studied and worked for 3 years. The opportunity then came for her to move to Kincraig and work at the Highland Wildlife Park. Having visited the area when she was younger it was a no brainer, and she has now been settled in Kincraig for nearly 4 years. Sophia's previous working responsibilities meant dealing with a wide variety of customers, which has benefited her face to face people skills and building relationships with clients. Looking for a career change, Sophia has always had a love for property and the local area and is very excited to have a career that involves these two things. Both of these, as well as her communication and customer service skills will be vital in helping our customers with a great service from start to finish. In her spare time she enjoys meeting with friends, hillwalking, exercising and more recently learning how to snowboard.
