Sophie Bryant is a New York native who graduated Tulane undergrad in 2017 with a double major in psychology and public health. She was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta and played saxophone in a jazz combo on campus. Sophie absolutely fell in love with New Orleans during her time here and has since moved here with her sister and parents to continue to enjoy everything New Orleans has to offer.

Sophie works as a pediatric emergency room nurse at Ochsner and is currently in school at LSU to become a nurse practitioner. Outside of listening to music on Frenchman Street, enjoying crawfish with her family, or dining at delicious restaurants, she loves to crochet and read on her balcony apartment off of Magazine Street. She’s so grateful for Tulane and the friends that it has brought her, including the podcast’s own, Nina Riffaud.

Becca is a social media strategist, a proud Tulane alum, and someone who somehow turned scrolling into a career. Outside of work, you can find her hanging out with friends (and their dogs), drinking the crispest Sauvignon Blanc New Zealand has to offer, and convincing herself that screen time doesn’t count if it’s a rewatch of The Eras Tour Film.
