Sophie

Beltran

2025 Fellow
Riverview High School
Sarasota County
Washington University, Mo.

Sophie earned a 3.88 GPA in high school and is enrolled in the International Baccalaureate Program.  She participates in many school clubs and community activities, including the Marine Club and Student Council, the Art, Spanish, Rho Kappa Honor, and the National English Honor Societies.

Sophie has a deep passion and respect for nature, plants, bugs, winds, and waves.  Her drive to protect and educate others by preserving the beauty of nature brought her to entertain and pursue a degree in law as an environmental attorney.

Sophie loves to crochet enough to start a club at a local community center. She claims this brought her a strong sense of community, and she has blossomed into a creative artist, crocheting her way to art exhibitions and an Etsy business.

When Sophie isn’t at school or one of many school clubs, she helps at the family ice cream business and writes novels! Sophie would like to attend Washington University in St. Louis, Missouri.
