Sophie Becker-Klein

Sophie Becker-Klein started at Audubon Mid-Atlantic as a FAO Schwarz Fellow and moved into her current role as Senior Coordinator of Conservation Education at The Discovery Center. Sophie is particularly interested in giving every student the opportunity to learn about the world they live in through environmental education and hopes to help students learn about real change they can make as a way to dispel climate anxieties.

During her two-year FAO Schwarz Fellowship, Sophie focused on creating and implementing lessons about birds, habitat, migration, watersheds, and climate at local elementary schools in their classrooms. She graduated from American University with a B.S. in Environmental Science and a minor in Education. As a new birder, she is excited to spend her free time identifying birds on her hikes with her dog, Blue.
