- Her pursuit of finding the right fit in the science field while attending college.
- How she knew it was time to move on in her career, and how it is so important to “Listen to your inner voice.”
- The value in having a strong mentor in your field.
- Being an advocate for yourself, even if you're the youngest person in the room.
- Her mom’s advice, that helped her make a pivotal decision in her career.
- The importance of having interests outside of work and being around diverse people makes her better at work.
Sarah is an environmental scientist with over 25 years of experience in research and consulting on solutions for contaminated waterways throughout the United States.
