“I first worked with Sarah over 20 years ago, when she was my assistant. With no prior experience, she quickly proved she could plan and execute an excellent meeting—balancing business priorities with the energy and excitement a sales meeting demands. Since then, I’ve continued to rely on her, not just as a colleague, but as a ‘reverse mentor.’ Sarah brings a unique blend of professionalism, creativity, and calm problem-solving to every project. She is a positive influence on every team, never daunted by challenges, and has an extraordinary ability to improvise when obstacles arise. Her ‘Planning Aficionado’ title understates her talent—she is a master at thoughtfully building a plan and flawlessly executing it, always delivering on time, on budget, and with a touch of fun. She is the real deal. Meeting planning has been her superpower from the very start, and if I needed an event planned today, Sarah would be my first call—just as she was two decades ago.”

“For the Origins brand, Sarah’s dedication and thoroughness were absolutely unmatched during the North America Sales Meeting in Arizona. From the start, she hit the ground running—developing detailed planning timelines, mapping out approvals, and keeping every stakeholder aligned. She managed executive expectations with finesse, knowing when to escalate and when to move forward independently. On site, she was the first to arrive and the last to leave, ensuring the smallest details—from floral set-ups before dawn to late-night production checks—were flawless. Beyond execution, Sarah went above and beyond by compiling a comprehensive post-event debrief, capturing wins and identifying opportunities for the future. I have worked with Sarah for over a decade and she is an enormous asset to any team she's ever been on or partnered with. I cannot recommend her highly enough to anyone seeking a partner for meetings or events.”

During rehearsals and run-throughs, she partnered closely with our presenters, encouraging them, even guiding them through deep breathing exercises so they felt comfortable and confident on stage. Sarah’s positivity and ability to rally the troops created a collaborative atmosphere that allowed creativity to shine.

From day one, she kept us all on track—meticulously capturing notes, managing timelines, and staying on top of the endless details required to bring together three brands (Bobbi Brown, Bumble & bumble, and Origins) into one seamless cluster meeting. Sarah has a gift for balancing high expectations with grace—she managed the constant flow of decisions, details, and personalities with a calm presence and her signature smile. She also trusted her instincts in designing a team-building salsa-making night that energized the teams, sparked creativity, and became one of the most memorable highlights of the meeting. 

Sarah made tremendous contributions that elevated our team and drove meaningful results across the organization. She brings a powerful blend of strengths—Strategic, Arranger, Positivity, Communication, Ideation, and Responsibility—that make her a true force.
