Truckee Meadows Community College is northern Nevada's jobs college, preparing qualified students for jobs in industries right here in Nevada. Truckee Meadows Community College (TMCC) named Sophie Moeller as the Alumna of the Year for 2026. During TMCC's Commencement Ceremony, Moeller delivered remarks to graduates and received special recognition for this achievement. TMCC President Jeffrey Alexander said Moeller's accomplishments exemplify the transformative role community colleges play in the region. “Sophie’s story is a powerful reflection of the impact that our college has on students, families, and our entire community.” Originally from Massachusetts, Moeller moved West in 2008, and Reno became home.  Diagnosed with ADHD in the late 1990s, she struggled academically and grew to loathe school. She faced further challenges with substance use throughout her 20s, but at age 32, she found sobriety. This turning point gave her the clarity and courage to enroll at TMCC. “By leaning into TMCC’s student resources, I rediscovered my love for academic learning,” recalls Moeller. She flourished as a student, joining Phi Theta Kappa Honor Society before graduating with her Associate of Arts degree in 2022. Moeller, a leader in the local non-profit community, is passionate about holistic health and expanding access to healthy lifestyles and the outdoors. She currently serves as Development Director for Achieve Tahoe, advancing opportunities for people with disabilities to experience outdoor recreation—an effort that comes full circle from her start as a volunteer ski instructor in 2008. She also founded a Reno-based stepparent support group to strengthen connections among blended families. Outside of her work, Moeller pursues the arts on stage and screen and lives with her husband and two stepchildren. She strives to model resilience through hard work, accepting help, and showing up.
