SOPHIA ENRIQUEZ

Administrative + Childcare Assistant

Well, I’m so excited that you stopped to learn a little more about me!

To give you a little insight into my journey with Grove, I’ve always admired the work Grove was and continues to be doing in our community. When I had the opportunity to do an internship here, I quickly fell in love with everything Grove: the people, the providers, the administrative team, and most importantly, the heart behind the work we do. It truly felt like a dream to be part of such a special space. And now I get to be part of this incredible team, and I couldn’t be more grateful.

I recently earned my bachelor’s degree in Human Development and Family Studies, and I hope to continue my education in the coming years by pursuing a master’s degree in counseling. Who knows? Maybe one day you’ll find me on the other side of the office as a provider!

When I’m not at Grove, I love spending my time doing the things that I love. So you can usually find me hiking, exploring the outdoors, or taking a day trip to surrounding cities!

Enough about me, I’d love to hear about you! The next time you stop by Grove, come say hello and tell me a little bit about your story.
