Current Life Situation:
Sophie works as an administrative assistant at Colorado College. She previously worked for a food industry podcast and in a past life went to pastry school. Sophie loves to read, knit (including hats for SITW students), and hang out with her dachshund Massimo. She was a member of the Friends of School in the Woods board.
SITW Impact on your life:
School in the Woods taught me so much about empathy and connection to the world around you. I was already a big animal lover, but I became really passionate about the environment and protecting wild spaces. I developed lifelong friendships with so many kids in my class.
𝗦𝗽𝗲𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗿𝘆: I have so many special memories. The field trip up Pikes Peak, joining the wikiup theatre performance, and seeing a porcupette (baby porcupine) on the perimeter hike were highlights.
SITW should always:
be a safe space for students to grow their curiosity and wonder at the natural world around us.
