Something You May Not Know About Sarah

To Sarah, advocacy is an integral part of who she is. Advocacy allows one to possess empathy in the plight of another. It informs the receiver of an alternate point of view. It stretches the imagination from what is known to what is unknown. Advocacy touches the soul and releases an energy that awakens new thoughts and new possibilities. It is the opportunity to be able to impact not only your own life, but that of others.

In her free-time Sarah loves to hike with her four year old pointer-pit-bull mix, play soccer, eat delicious foods, and travel. Although this season was disappointing, Sarah remains a die-hard Eagles and Sixers fan. She loves giving back to her community, as she is currently a coach of the 2024 youth and government mock trial competition for the local high schools and a judge for the Hickory Regional Competition held by North Carolina Mock Trial Program.
