Sarah brings over twenty years of experience to EF coaching from her work in diverse professional fields. After earning her BA from the College of Charleston with a double major in Communication Studies and Studio Art, Sarah pursued her passion for international adventures by becoming the Travel Director of a global tour company where Sarah was put in charge of coordinating, facilitating, and leading tour groups to over forty countries. Ensuring travelers of all ages and abilities felt safe and supported in unfamiliar environments required preparation, clear communication, expectation management, and approaching even the most challenging situations with flexibility and humor.

Sarah returned to her hometown of St. Louis to pursue a Masters in Education at Fontbonne University and discovered she absolutely loved teaching! She worked for nearly ten years in various schools as lead classroom teacher before earning a second Masters degree in Administration from Loyola University and moving into the role of Assistant Principal at the School of St. Mary in Lake Forest, IL. As an educational administrator, Sarah collaborated closely with families and teachers to prioritize whole-child education through the development of curriculum and teaching practices that aligned with student needs.

Sarah became an ADHD-Certified Executive Functioning Coach after seeing a growing trend of smart, capable students struggling with procrastination, scattered attention, emotional dysregulation, and negative self-talk. Her years as an educator, administrator, and coach have made Sarah acutely aware that effective executive functioning coaching is not a one-size-fits-all solution. With every new client, Sarah looks forward to developing a partnership to help improve quality of life through the building and strengthening of robust executive functioning skills.

Away from work, Sarah enjoys spending time traveling and hiking with her husband, 11-year-old daughter, 9-year-old son, golden retriever (Louie) and tabby cat (Rosie).
