Sarah works as the Program Assistant on the Project Momentum team at SSC. She is eager to see multilingual learners thrive in the classroom and beyond, and believes that begins with the quality and care behind the instruction they receive.

Sarah earned her degree in Teaching English as an Additional Language from Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia in 2020. She started volunteering in the multilingual education field in college, and quickly fell in love with the work and the population being served, realizing they were also enriching her life in unimaginable ways. Sarah transitioned back to Minnesota living in 2020, taking a position as a student teacher at Shakopee Public Schools in the EL department. Once complete with her training there, she taught in the non-profit sector in St. Paul. She taught ABE classes during the day, and worked at the rock-climbing gym at night! Her longest chapter in her career has been supporting the students at Hubert H. Humphrey Job Corps Center, where she started as the Reading Instructor and moved into the Academic Manager position thereafter. While there, she learned the importance of advocating for those who have been previously marginalized, and giving those students the power to rewrite their story.

 In her free time, Sarah enjoys chasing after her red-headed 20-month old daughter Annika, traveling, experimenting with sourdough, rock climbing, and learning anything new she can.
