A little about Sara
Sara wants to live in a world where greetings are met with a big, warm smile; typos don’t exist, and caramel mocha lattes are fat-free and calorie-free.
As a public relations strategist and publicity maven, she’s often up with morning TV news crews at 4 am. She is known for spotlighting her clients on and in local, regional, and national press (over and over again) – priding herself on multiple opportunities each event, month, or campaign.
When she’s not setting up morning live shots, writing press releases or brainstorming a client’s next clever program/event, you can find her chasing her son, Jake, around the house (or playground, backyard, playroom, etc., etc., etc.), taking a brisk, morning walk with her dogs – publically admitted neurotic, yet beautiful Weimaraners – Otis and Winston, or escaping for a much-needed date night with her hubby, Ryan, at a new, hip restaurant (or one of their old favs).
