Connect with Sarah if you want to discuss data-driven policy or talk about all things sports related

Sarah is a data and policy strategist with deep roots in community-based early childhood programs. For over a decade, she has worked alongside families, educators, and community organizations to design and strengthen programs that are equitable, responsive, and grounded in evidence-based practice.

Her career spans direct service and systems-level work, from leading initiatives in Head Start and home visiting to managing cross-sector projects that connect research, policy, and local implementation. She is passionate about bridging the gap between policy and practice, ensuring that data-driven decisions always center the voices of families and frontline staff.

She is a systems strategist, data translator, and policy implementer.

When she’s not managing projects, you can find Sarah momming and watching an almost comical amount of sports.
