Sara leads MomsRising's leadership development and grassroots advocacy programming in Washington State, focused on the core value and belief that policy change is only effective and meaningful when families and communities most closely impacted by harmful and broken systems are in the driver's seat of strategic advocacy and policy design. She centers trauma-informed resilience, joyful community building, and multigenerational organizing throughout her work with parent-leaders, caregivers, and their chosen families.

Sara returned to MomsRising in 2023 after serving as the lead project manager for Oregon Health Authority's trauma-informed COVID-19 vaccination campaign, Safe + Strong, while at Brink Communications. Previously, she was a national Senior Campaign Director and worked to mobilize MomsRising's one million members to take action for economic justice issues and transform public policy through digital storytelling, narrative change, policy advocacy, and grassroots organizing. She is the founding organizer of LGBTQ+ Equal Pay Awareness Day, observed annually to address the wage gap, poverty, and occupational segregation experienced by LGBTQ+ communities, particularly queer and trans people of color. Her work centers the lived experience and expertise of systemically marginalized communities and families living on low incomes. Prior to joining MomsRising, Sara served as a Programs and Policy Associate at the Reproductive Health Technologies Project, where she led the organization's work at the intersections of environmental and reproductive health, rights, and justice. She holds a BA in Political Science and Gender Studies from Bryn Mawr College.
