She was discovered by a photographer and it led to many jobs in the modeling and television industry. From 1995 to 1998, Sofia co-hosted a travel show, Fuera de Serie which gave her exposure in the United States. The exposure led to a film roles and a TV series. She faced many hardships during her days in Colombia and even after becoming a TV star. She divorced and became a single parent. In addition to this, she was diagnosed with cancer but, after being treated has had a full recovery. She has received four Emmy nomination

Sofia is great at what she does. She has great comedic timing and always brings out the best in her characters. One of my favorite quotes by Sofia is “I guess at the end of the day, all women like to be appreciated and treated with respect and kindness.”
