Sara has been with Mount Union since 2001. Before coming to the University of Mount Union she worked in career development and student services at Kent State University, La Roche College, and the Community College of Allegheny County. Prior to this, Sara worked in the human resources field specializing in employment recruiting and employee relations. This experience provides Sara the versatility to work with all students, whether they are new freshman with unclear career goals or seniors preparing for a job interview. Sara's academic credentials include a Master of Science degree in Human Resources Management (La Roche College) and a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business & Organizational Communication (University of Akron). Her office philosophy is the same as Becky's, but since Becky listed it first, she'll go with, "Think big and have a plan 'B'."
