Hello everyone! My name is Sofia Azuara and I am so excited to start my blogging journey. I am originally from Houston, TX but spent some time in Philadelphia before moving to Boston to begin my studies at Simmons. I am just now wrapping up my third week at Simmons and am working towards a Master of Library and Information Science with a concentration in Archives Management. Before coming to Simmons, I received a Bachelor’s degree in creative writing from Bryn Mawr College and then worked in the youth service department at a public library. Additionally, I have some experiences in archive and museum environments and I hope to continue broadening my expertise in these fields throughout my time in the program. As I am becoming more familiar with Boston, my goal is to explore all the different corners of the city! My favorite activities so far have been catching a screening at Coolidge Corner Theatre and picnicking in the Boston Common.

Music is humanity’s greatest unifiers. Rhythm and sound are innate; things that make a hearth in the depths of beings. This is, at the very least, what I feel. You see, I grew up with the dad who loves his guitar. Isn’t that a classic picture? A father still in his work clothes sat with the instrument cradled against his chest (plucking and tuning and humming) until it became another limb, bathed in the warm glow of the lamp light. I grew up with a mother in love with words and the theatre. Spent car rides with her listening to titillating and probably too-mature radio segments on the way to school every morning. I grew up with a karaoke machine snug against the living room wall just biding it’s time until the next family gathering. All this to say, I love listening to…
