Sarah grew up in Brevard, NC, and spent much of her childhood exploring the natural spaces surrounding her home. This time spent observing and falling in love with her local ecosystem contributed to her drive to pursue a career in conservation. She is beyond thrilled to begin that career here in service to her home region with AmeriCorps Project Conserve!
Sarah graduated from UNC Wilmington in May 2025 with master’s degrees in public administration and environmental science, building upon her knowledge of environmental management and policy from her undergraduate studies at UNC Asheville. She looks forward to using her skills in these fields to advance Conserving Carolina’s mission. She is also deeply passionate about all things birds, which can be seen in much of her work. Sarah is most looking forward to reconnecting with the people and places of her home through her service term.
