She has since worked closely with teams and projects from around the world. Sarah earned a Bachelor of Arts in business from William and Mary in 2011 and a Master of Arts in public and international affairs from Virginia Tech in 2016, but is equally proud of and appreciative for the education she has received from the various people and places she has worked with and in throughout her career.
