Bio

With a Bachelors in English, Secondary Education (2013) from Westminster College and a Masters in Student Affairs in Higher Education (2020) from Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP), Sarah uses her background in education to holistically support her students in their pursuit of academic, personal, and professional goals. She has held worn many hats during her career before coming to IS including Success Coach for Pittsburgh Promise Students (Carlow University), Social Media Coordinator (College Reading and Learning Association), Graduate Assistant to Multicultural Affairs and Student Success (IUP), Administrative Assistant (Office of Residential Education, Carnegie Mellon University), and more. Sarah encourages all students to say yes to new experiences because you never know what doors will open when you try something new!

Outside of work, you can find her renovating her home with her fiancé, Andrew; practicing and teaching yoga at her local studio; reading a good book; or playing with her two cats (Toph and Gulliver) and dog (Choji).

Sarah is excited to be joining the IS community and can’t wait to get to know each of you!
