Sophia Todorov
Spatial Ecology Research Technician & Winter Caretaker
Sophia is a research technician and winter caretaker at RMBL. She grew up in Corona, California, and studied biology and GIS at UCLA, first arriving at RMBL in 2020 as an undergraduate researcher studying marmot behavior. After earning her B.S. in 2022, she immediately returned to Gothic as a winter caretaker—her first time ever living in a place with snow! She has since spent three winters (and counting) in Gothic and works in Ian Breckheimer's Spatial Ecology Lab, where she has contributed to more than 20 research projects through field + drone data collection and spatial data processing. Her favorite part of working at RMBL is being part of a close-knit community of curious, passionate people who care deeply about science and the environment. Outside of work, Sophia enjoys xc skiing, klunking, watching movies, baking bread, and botanizing.
