About Sarah
I am from Lafayette, California, about 45 minutes east of San Francisco. My passion for working in media began when I was 14 and was gifted a camera. After receiving a degree in Sports Media, with a specialization in video journalism from Indiana University, I futher developed my passion for creating captivating visual stories. My expertise extends to graphic design, video editing, social media management, and photography, enabling me to craft engaging content and execute impactful campaigns. I pride myself on my attention to detail, organizational skills, leadership abilities, and problem-solving skills, which consistently contribute to the success of the projects I undertake.
I am not only driven by my love for creating captivating visual stories but also by my genuine desire to connect and work with people. I am dedicated to delivering creative excellence and professional results in the dynamic world of sports media and marketing. I believe that the power of effective communication and building relationships is key to success in any endeavor. Whether it's collaborating with clients, colleagues, or target audiences, I value the opportunity to connect on a human level and create meaningful connections.
I am excited about the possibility of joining a team where I can continue to work closely with people, collaborate on innovative projects, and make a positive impact.
