Meet Dr. Sophie Hill
I love everything outdoors! When I'm not dragging my family on long science-y road trips, I coach lots of sports, ski all winter, and tinker with giant power tools.
I have a doctorate in Urban Ecology, a postdoc in Water Cycle Education, and have taught math and science for 9 years.
