Born and raised in Santa Rosa, Sarah will always consider the calm weather, friendly community, beautiful wine country and breathtaking west coast beaches home. After attending Santa Rosa Junior College and working at several administrative jobs in Marin County over a span of 8 years she decided it was time to rid herself of the stress of commuting and seek employment closer to home.
In 2007, Sarah enthusiastically joined the Sutter Santa Rosa Family Medicine Residency as Selection Coordinator and felt once again at home. She has never felt better about the work that she does and enjoys going to work everyday. She especially loves working with people who care so much about the well being of others. Sarah feels very fortunate to have the opportunity each year to come in contact with so many inspiring, diverse and gifted people. She finally feels like her hours and days spent at work benefit a meaningful cause. In 2022, Sarah had happily transitioned into the Program Manager role, looking forward to what her new position would bring her. Outside of work Sarah enjoys spending time with family and friends, camping, boating, wine tasting, trying out new recipes, watching football, taking trips to Disneyland and completing home improvement projects. |
