As a Director of Marketing & PR, she provides strategic guidance and implementation, project management, and creative direction services to clients.

Sara was previously director of business development for ShadowTV, a monitoring service for multimedia and traditional news coverage, where she was responsible for driving new sales of ShadowTV’s online database to communications professionals.

Sara earned a B.A. in business management with a concentration in marketing and public relations from Hood College in Frederick, Md.

She is a Baltimore native who loves picking crabs, thinks Old Bay goes well with anything, wears cowboy boots (even to work), and loves to drive pickup trucks. Sara spends her free time hanging out with her husband, chasing their two young daughters (and crazy German Shepherd, Hardy), and enjoying the family’s small farm in the Ag Reserve of Montgomery County. You’ll often find the family spending time at the bar with their horse, Ralphie, or cheering on their oldest daughter as she begins her barrel racing journey.
