Sofia Robleda, a proud Cromwell College alumna from 2006 to 2009, has embarked on an incredible journey since her university days. Known as “Sucre” during her time at Cromwell, Sofia was a Top Dowling senior and bandfest convenor. After graduating with a doctorate in clinical psychology from UQ, she married fellow Cromwellian Craig Oosthuizen, affectionately known as “Hedwig.” The couple recently celebrated their 10th wedding anniversary and now reside in London with their three-year-old son.
This year, Sofia achieved a lifelong dream by becoming a published author. Her debut novel, Daughter of Fire, a historical fiction set in 16th Century Guatemala, has captivated readers worldwide and earned a spot as a Kindle Bestseller. The novel tells the story of a young mixed-race woman tasked with preserving the sacred Popol Vuh of the K’iche’ Maya people.
Sofia’s book launch in London was a heartwarming mini-reunion, with many Cromwellians, including her bridesmaids Jiggaboo and Harper, traveling from Brisbane to celebrate her success.
