Sarah is a passionate youth professional with over 10 years’ experience working in the education and community development sectors.

As a senior facilitator of a youth community group Sarah realised early on the importance of providing inclusive spaces for young people to be their best selves. This led her to develop and implement leadership programs for school students whilst working as Youth Engagement Officer at YouthLaw.

Sarah’s knowledge and understanding of Victoria’s young people comes from working firsthand with diverse cohorts of young people at The Reach Foundation where she led teams to create innovative school workshops, managed large-scale events, and directly mentored her team.

She has developed strong program management skills and was previously training skilled volunteers to work in early years centres and schools to provide comprehensive support to children.

Sarah has always been a strong advocate for young people and is driven by the belief that education has the power to open doors and unlock potential.
