Hi! My name is Sophie Williams and I am from Bradenton, Florida. Growing up, I was always surrounded by the ocean and nature, which shaped my love for the environment. As I got older, I began to notice how human actions were impacting these ecosystems, and it made me want to be part of the solution. I am passionate about environmental education because I believe helping people build personal connections with nature can inspire real change and more sustainable choices.

This is my 22nd year of teaching.  I am a mom of 3 children.
