ABOUT
HER STORY
Nearly six feet tall, a self-made entrepreneur, and an Ivy League scientist, Sonia Sandha is not your typical model. Her foray into the industry started at a young age, and she has gone on to be the face of brands like Ulta, Banana Republic, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton. While pursuing her passion for education, Sonia used modeling to help finance her degrees. A bachelors in marketing, followed by an MBA, and most recently — a second Masters in Science from the University of Pennsylvania. Her motivation? A passion for changing the community and world around her. After losing loved ones to preventable disease, Sonia embarked on a mission to reshape America’s industrialized food system. Using her studies in gerontology, longevity, and nutrition science, she went on to become the co- founder and CEO of the rising superfood brand: Mamas. Using capital she made while shooting campaigns, she bootstrapped the business with her husband, and what started as a local Farmers Market favorite, quickly went on to become an Amazon #1 New Release. The brand was chosen for Target’s Accelerator, and is currently growing its board, which now includes the founder of NextDoor. Far from stopping, Sonia’s modeling career has entered a new and explosive era. Her face is slowly appearing on billboards and commercials across the world, and she’s determined to inspire young women to be more than a pretty face, and to live a life of impact.
