Hello! I'm Sophia (or Sophie is fine too).

I live in Lancaster, PA. I'm an analyst at a tech company in the area, and I run a small native plant business with my sister.

At some point I became aware of climate change, and it has since caused my brain to ask many questions. Like:

• What might the world be like in 50 years?
• What are the easiest and hardest ways for society to adapt?
• What are the roles of individuals vs. communities vs. businesses vs. governments in adapting to climate change?
• Can businesses serve as a force for good in relation to climate change?
• How do societies typically respond when faced with these types of challenges?
• How will people 1,000 years from now look back on this period of history?

Among many other things, probably. But this website is meant to serve as a place where I think about these questions in a public way, because otherwise these thoughts will just stay half-baked in my mind and that's not very helpful.

On this website you will find:

writing

This is primarily where I try to answer questions that I have, since writing forces me to organize my thoughts clearly. I'll probably change my mind on things over time, so think of these as snapshots rather than deeply held beliefs.

reading list

A list of books I'm reading, with a little blurb about what I've learned from that book. Some books might have a more in-depth post attached to them if I had a lot to say.

work

An annotated version of my resume.
