She graduated Magna Cum Laude from Drexel University with a B.A. in Corporate and Public Relations. While at Drexel, she completed their co-op program acting as the special projects coordinator for their Office of Government and Community Relations.

After Drexel, Sarah went on to accept a position as Events Coordinator with NJBIZ, New Jersey’s premier business news publication. During her five-year tenure with NJBIZ, Sarah planned, oversaw and executed nearly a dozen prominent events throughout the year including the Best 50 Women in Business Awards and the Best Places to Work in New Jersey Awards – working with hundreds of companies throughout New Jersey. She also implemented a monthly events newsletter and initiated the department’s social media campaign. After three years acting as the events coordinator, Sarah was promoted to Events Manager for both NJBIZ and their sister publication, Leigh Valley Business, based out of Bethlehem, PA.

During this transition, Sarah decided to pursuit her longstanding passion for writing and began taking on clients on a freelance basis. Her writing repertoire consists of copy writing, business writing, news articles and blogging. When she isn’t writing or chasing after a vivacious one year old, she is pursuing a Certificate in Theology and Ministry from Princeton Theological Seminary. Sarah resides in New Jersey with her husband Jeff and son Isaiah.
