Sophie is originally from Virginia and a newcomer to Colorado. She holds a Master’s in Policy from the Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy at the University of Virginia, where she designed an interdisciplinary major in Political Philosophy, Policy, and Law. She developed a commitment to advancing economic mobility and amplifying the voices of workers while working in the federal policy space, where she caught the fiscal policy bug during her time with the Hamilton Project at the Brookings Institution along with completing her dissertation for the U.S. Department of Education.

Sophie was drawn to Colorado due to the pressing importance of addressing the injustices facing working families as a result of the upside down tax code. As a labor analyst with CFI, Sophie collaborates with partners and labor organizations across the state to research and advocate for a fair, equitable tax code and an economy that works for all Coloradans. With her newfound understanding of the role of state budgets in financing public education and other essential community services, she strives to further the movement of a people-centered economy while working at CFI.

In her spare time, Sophie frequently practices yoga while soaking in the beauty of the outdoors.
