Shortly before moving to L.A. in the Spring of 2007, Sonora was named one of the 100 Women We Love in theater by Go Magazine. During her final semester of her MFA program in New York City, Sonora performed in The Vagina Monologues and Wingman at The Gene Frankel Theater, filmed a short action drama, shot a commercial for Holy Spirit Hospitals, and had a cameo on Dennis Leary's FX series, Rescue Me.
Upon graduation in June 2007, she moved to Los Angeles and filmed BPS: Baby Parcel Service for the 72 Hour film festival. The film was a top ten finalist, nominated for Best Screenplay and Most Original Film, and won runner up for Audience Favorite. It aired on AZN at 8pm August 29th.
Sonora was featured in the August 8th issue of Backstage about New York stage actors moving to Los Angeles.
She also joined the oldest non-profit theater company in Los Angeles, The Company of Angels, where she was thrilled to see playwright Suzan Lori Parks was in attendance for a performance of 365 Days/365 Plays in downtown Los Angeles. Sonora currently serves on staff as the Development Director.
She recently appeared in the print campaign for Beauty Queen from Virginia: The Jackie Bong Wright Story and performed in Nicole Atkins' music video for Maybe Tonight with Lucent Dossier, airing beginning on VH1 in January 2008. Her latest short film, The Divorce, wrapped mid-March.
