Sarah is a project manager whose work is driven by a passion for managing the synthesis of complex data to generate meaningful insights that advance health policy and research. Sarah is particularly skilled at working with public agency staff to seamlessly engage subject matter experts and partners, translate project goals into actionable plans, and implement effective strategies to collect and analyze data. She is also highly adept at facilitating multi-institute workgroups, conducting mixed-methods evaluations, and producing written deliverables for a wide range of audiences. In addition to supporting clients in managing complex projects to scope, on time, and within budget, Sarah also has experience in guiding teams through quality improvement (QI) initiatives. She is a certified Project Management Professional (PMP) and has completed multiple QI trainings.
Prior to joining HSRI, Sarah was a project manager at Tufts Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI), where she managed program evaluations and research studies for consulting service clients as well as internal teams. Prior to that, Sarah started her professional career as an administrative assistant at Cornell University. Sarah has volunteered and interned in a wide range of health-related organizations, including a hospice, a community health clinic, and a nonprofit health policy institute.
When not at work, Sarah enjoys knitting, gardening, traveling, and spending time with friends and family.
The most meaningful part of my work is ensuring that researchers and policymakers have access to high-quality population-level data to inform insights into and advances in public health.
