Get to Know Sarah...

What does “structure creates freedom” mean to you?

Structure helps build independence. Overtime routines become internalized- planning becomes automatic, time estimation improves, self-monitoring is strengthened. And then the student doesn’t need constant adult prompting. This is the freedom that structure creates.

What’s a small win you love seeing students experience?

When they start to plan ahead because they looked ahead - they become strategic instead of reactive.

How would you describe your coaching style in three words?

Structured, calm and intentional.

What was your favorite class in school?

Social Studies.

Who is one person you admire?

Taylor Swift (work ethic, response to set backs, adaptability, perseverance).

What’s your reset ritual after a long week?

I like to take my dog for a walk, or read a book.

If you could unplug anywhere for a week, where would it be?

The beach, no question. Sun, water, a good book, and no schedule - that’s my kind of reset.
