She began her esteemed career at the Bahamas Ministry of Public Works, developing nationally significant projects before moving to the Facilities division at Atlantis, Paradise Island where she served as director of projects, managing the multi-million-dollar capital budget for the entire property.

In addition to her professional contributions, Sonia is also an advocate for the advancement of women.
