Sarah is proud to find funding, share stories and bring people together around Confluence Rising’s powerful work as Vice President of Development. Before leading fundraising efforts, Sarah led Transforming Together, the team responsible for adult training, coaching & conflict facilitation for 7 years. She stewarded, strengthened, and expanded partnerships with schools, organizations, and workplaces invested in restorative and social justice.

Sarah strives to embody anti-racist, intersectional, queer feminine leadership, and has over 15 years of experience facilitating cross-cultural dialogue. Sarah’s publications include “Creating Diverse and Inclusive Schools Through Relationship-Based, Anti-Oppressive Classrooms” in the Millennial Compact with America, and “Toward a Relevant Psychology of Prejudice: Linking Science & Practice to Develop Community Interventions” in Contextualizing the Cost of Racism for People of Color. She has previously been a certified facilitator of the 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens curriculum, a national LEAD trainer, and a Courageous Conversations about Race Affiliate Practitioner. What excites her most about her work at CCEJ is the opportunity to support others in living more aligned with their values.
