"At 39, she divides her time between shaping young minds as an economics professor at the Pleasant Hill campus of Diablo Valley College (DVC) and steering the city of Vallejo toward transparency, accountability and trust. It has been a challenge balancing the dual roles, especially because there is a lot of work to do in Vallejo, said Sorce, who says she wishes she had 40 hours in a day."
"She graduated from Millbrook High School in Raleigh before earning her bachelor's degree in economics and international studies from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. Later, she earned a master's in public administration in international development from Harvard's Kennedy School of Government. Sorce says she dreamed of being an astronaut when she was a child. These days, she says she's focused on something just as ambitious restoring confidence in local government and strengthening civic engagement in Vallejo."
