Journalism student plying her craft as a World Cup photographer
As a young soccer player growing up in Georgia, Sofia Cupertino never imagined that one day she would be standing on the sidelines of a FIFA World Cup match, camera in hand, photographing some of the game's biggest stars on the world’s biggest stage. Now a journalism student in Kennesaw State University’s Norman J. Radow College of Humanities and Social Sciences, Cupertino is covering World Cup matches in Atlanta this summer with Soccer Down Here (SDH), an Atlanta-based soccer media outlet.
