Sophie is a certification specialist at PCO, where she works closely with organic farmers to attain and maintain their certification through the annual cycle. She joined the PCO team in May of 2025. Prior to joining PCO, she worked for another certifier in an administrative role. 

Sophie holds a certificate in horticulture and has worked as a farm hand on organic vegetable farms across Pennsylvania and Montana, where she currently resides. She thinks farmers are some of the best people in the world and is honored to be able to connect and work alongside them.

Sophie enjoys living seasonally. She gardens, backpacks, and floats the river in the summer and turns to pottery and curling (the world's silliest sport) in the winter.
