About

Hi, I'm Sarah! I'm a writer, community advocate, and communications professional driven by curiosity, a love of storytelling, and a belief in the power of information to connect people and inspire change.I spent eight years in journalism, including three as managing editor of a daily newspaper. My reporting earned multiple Iowa Newspaper Association awards, including first-place honors for Best Series and Best Personality Feature. Beyond the newsroom, my experience spans judicial media relations, donor development, grant writing, marketing, fundraising, education, and community engagement. I've built partnerships, organized volunteers, and helped turn ideas into action.I believe effective communication does more than deliver a message. It builds trust, informs decisions, challenges assumptions, and creates opportunities. This is why I'm pursuing a master's degree in Strategic Communication at Northwest Missouri State University.Originally from coastal California, I've made my home in the Midwest. I'm a band mom, community volunteer, and enthusiastic maker of things. I appreciate good stories, unfamiliar roads, and people who see possibilities where others see obstacles.
