I had the pleasure of working with her for several years at Ipas, first as a collaborator, and later when she was my direct supervisor on the Community Access team. I was always impressed by Sarah's ability to focus on strategic direction and ensure that our team was working towards common goals. She was also excellent at mentoring others, building collaborative teams where everyone was valued, and adapting to changing needs. You could put Sarah on any team and she will do an outstanding job." and "I have known Sarah in professional and personal capacities for 13 years. During the time we worked together at Ipas, I found her to be a strong leader. I often looked to her for guidance, as she had previously held the position I was hired for. Sarah was always a strong advocate for mentorship and professional development opportunities. I was able to learn a lot through watching her. I saw her as a role model for pushing back on unfair policies and asking hard questions. Her facilitation skills were some of the best in the organization. Sarah is also the person you want around to come up with a killer acronym for your program. I continue to call on Sarah’s project management skills to help develop the new enterprises we both dream up since leaving Ipas. She keeps me on track with building my own solo law firm through the Goal Friends program she created. She does this while continuing to pursue multiple other feminist and social justice opportunities. Sarah makes the movements she supports stronger by her abilities to organize, delegate, and dive in to get the work done. "
