About Sophie

Bonjour

Bienvenue. Moi, je m’appelle Sophie Arkinstall. This site is about my professional and personal experiences and sharing those with you.

Originally, Voila Sophie was all about French and teaching the language and culture. Today, Voila Sophie has evolved as I have and is now all about smarter, better cities, business and my learnings.

I am passionate about smart cities, innovation and health. For me, Smart Initiatives should be scalable so as to help create a healthier, cleaner, more productive and creative future. 

I am currently studying a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) at The University of Queensland’s Graduate School of Business, and have completed a Graduate Certificate of Project Management at the University of Sydney. Ultimately, I am passionate about innovation, co-creation and sustainable futures.

I am a member of the Partnership and Community Engagement committee member at Hymba Yumba Independent School, a council member of the Springfield City Group Diversity and Inclusion Council, and a committee member of MBAus 2019 and UQ MBA Social Club.

I love to vlog, do public speaking and learn new things. I’m a big fan of hackathons, giving first and being optimistic.

Je vous remercie.

Bon Courage et allons-y !

– Sophie.
