About Sarah

I have been working in the local health and human services field for the past 10 years. I am passionate about putting people first, taking a research-based approach, and empowering Lancaster's young leaders. I hold a Master's degree in Social Work from Millersville University. I believe in infusing a trauma-informed and human-centered design approach to my work in program development and administration. I have been a big fan of Bench Mark Program from its start, getting to know Will through the local non-profit community and by referring the students I worked with to Bench Mark Program. In the past year, I worked closely with Bench Mark Program on their program evaluation, dreaming up new programming, and working with the SLP students. In my new role as Director of Operations, I will be working with our staff to calibrate our programs and services to elevate our Bench Mark Program youth and our community. I am looking forward to bringing my expertise to further Will and the Board of Directors' vision. I am also looking forward to increasing my deadlift max so that I can beat my sister in a competition when she returns from her deployment next year!
