Sara is a proud Waldorf alumna, having attended a Waldorf school in Vermont during her elementary years. She credits that experience with sparking her lifelong commitment to meaningful, purpose-driven work.

Outside of school, she enjoys keeping up with current events, volunteering, hiking, traveling, and spending time with her husband and daughters.
