Meet Sonnie Kanneh
I was born in West Africa, Liberia and have lived in the United States since I was eight years old. I grew up with my mother and 3 younger siblings in Minneapolis, Minnesota. I earned my B.S. in Family Social Science from the University of Minnesota. It's in my nature to love and help people. I am a daughter, a sister, a wife, and a mother. I have worked as a Personal Care Assistant for the Elderly, an ABA Therapist for children with Autism, and a Victim Advocate for victims of interpersonal violence. After Minnesota, my family and I moved to Fort Worth, TX, then to Reno where I worked as the Victim Advocate for a non-profit before beginning my position as Victim Services Coordinator with University Police Services. I love spending time with my family, reading, good music and being outdoors.
