Originally from Westerville, Ohio, Sarah earned her Bachelor’s degree in Sports Communications from the University of Kentucky with a minor in Health Promotion. In 2022, Sarah moved to Tampa to study for her MBA and M.S. degrees in the Vinik Sport Management and Entertainment (VSEM) program at the University of South Florida. 

While at USF, Sarah served at the Marketing Fellow with the Vinik Sports Group and as President of her graduate cohort. Before jointing the Partnership, she lead communications at her hometown church, while coaching Girls Golf at her former high school. 

During her time at the Tampa Bay Lightning/VSG, Sarah’s experience with ThunderBug, fan engagement, and the professional sports industry gave her the energy and experience for the Digital Marketing space with the Partnership. She loves to direct and edit videos while coming up with fresh, trending ideas for the Partnership’s platforms.
