As a founding board member of Cabins4Kids, she has spent more than a decade creating opportunities for youth who have historically had fewer opportunities to access camp and leadership development experiences. Her work with young people has shaped her belief that leadership development begins early and that meaningful growth happens when people are given the tools, relationships, and opportunities to see themselves as capable leaders.

Sarah’s professional foundation was built in education. She spent six years as a classroom teacher and later worked as a Youth Development Specialist, bringing a total of more than 11 years of experience in education and youth development. She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education with a focus on Special Education from Butler University and a Master’s degree in Early Childhood Education with Montessori certification from the University of Missouri-St. Louis.

Across her businesses, consulting work, and nonprofit leadership, Sarah is driven by a common mission: to help people and organizations grow with purpose, work more effectively, and create lasting impact.

Outside of work, Sarah enjoys spending time with her family, discovering local businesses, cheering for her favorite sports teams, and enjoying live music with friends.
