by Sophea Vasquez-Solis, Support Advisor
My name is Sophea Vasquez-Solis, and I have been with SoundView for eight years as a Support Advisor. Without getting into the nitty-gritty, my role as an “SA” is to assist our Advisors in helping you achieve your financial goals. Some of you are very lucky to work with me (Humility is one of our core values!). All kidding aside, I make sure things get done that you might dread doing on your own.
So, on a personal note, here is just a little more about me.
Family
My husband, Neil, and I live in Ballard with our daughter, Elle. Yes, we are in the only child club – though we are lucky to have a few friends and family who share the same family dynamic and can relate to our struggles. Our daughter is an eighth grader and will be in high school this fall (yikes!). She loves fashion and enjoys theater and acting. She’s in advanced drama and recently played Gabriella in High School Musical! She did a wonderful job singing and dancing in the play. Proud parent moment!
As a family, we enjoy seeing the Mariners a few times a year, as well as our annual trip to Orcas Island. And no, we don’t camp. There are many reasons. Let’s just say that Elle and I are not fond of bugs and night creatures.
May is a Meaningful Month
May is a motherload of a month: my workiversary at SoundView, our wedding anniversary, and many family birthdays (husband, mom, and mother-in-law). Am I missing anything else? Oh, I forgot the most important day of all: Mother’s Day. This year, Elle made me the best card ever - there’s nothing like a handmade card! Happy Mother's Day to all the moms!
Fun and K-drama
I love shopping, especially with my daughter. We often go to the mall for a few hours — but sometimes we make it a day. I often tease my daughter by inviting my husband. “Please, Dad, don’t go because you always rush us,” she says, and he responds, “Not even considering it!” with a smile.
Watching K-Drama TV (Korean drama) is one of my favorite things in the world. Renowned for their well-crafted narratives, they are usually 16 episodes per/each season. My favorites are “Crash Landing on You” and “Extraordinary Attorney Woo” - both highly rated and funny.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me better. Serving the clients at SoundView is a wonderful job, and I’m honored to be able to help in any way I can.
