Meet the IJA Board of Directors!
Let’s introduce: Sofia Noethe
“Hey there, I’m Sofia!
I’m in my 6th year serving on the IJA Board of Directors, and I’ve been an IJA member for over 20 years. I first picked up juggling in elementary school through a youth juggling program, which in turn introduced me to festivals like MONDO, MadFest, and (of course) the IJA Festival. Those early days sparked a lifelong love of juggling, and more importantly, introduced me to the worldwide juggling community.
Being on the board is one way I give back to the community that has given me so much joy, connection, and inspiration over the years.
A few fun facts about me: I make pottery, I work at a company that builds rockets, and collect Tamagotchis.”
