About sarah

from reporter to tv host to multimedia content strategist, & everything in between

An ice hockey player since she was in junior high, Sarah remembers when one team she played for created trading cards for each member in place of the typical team portrait. Under "position," hers read: “utility player.” Professionally, that's exactly what she's become: a creative, driven and capable content strategy leader who can bring the same energy and passion to your business that she’s brought to both her hockey teams and her clients.

While her career path has taken her from sports to tech, Sarah has also spent time writing about news and politics (both local and national), as well as business and the arts. In 2016, she won an Emmy Award as part of the on-air crew of "Breakfast on Broad," a first-of-its-kind morning sports talk TV show on which she was a host for two years. Before the Emmy, in partnership with the nonprofit Forté Foundation, Sarah wrote "Survival Guide for Women in Business," a book available in college libraries across North America. She has immersed herself in each subject matter she's been fortunate to write about or represent, one of her favorite parts of being a content strategist and writer.

Whether you’re hoping to fine tune the copy on your website, launch a series of white papers or leverage SEO to draw readers to your site, Sarah can help you execute a plan to meet any content marketing goal. She’s happy to share clips upon request.

editing & copy editing

It’s a lectern, not a podium — and there’s a big difference between how you correctly use “every day” and “everyday.” If you’re looking for someone to read through existing written work with a fine-tooth comb, Sarah is eager to leverage her years of editing experience to help make your content shine.

Sarah has written scripts for radio, TV, preroll and podcast advertisements.
