“Sarah is a passionate, hardworking, and extremely committed individual who is always bringing new ideas to the table. She is a connector—someone who is always making mutually beneficial introductions across her network. I worked with her on the launch of SIMPLi’s launch of seven new Regenerative Organic Certified pantry ingredients, and the expansion of eight of SIMPL’s products nationwide at Whole Foods Market. Sarah supported with media outreach and public relations to develop partnerships, leverage thought leadership, and engage in external communications to build awareness about SIMPLi’s launch and expansion. Sarah also led the development of SIMPLi’s Chef Advocate Program, a global network of culinary chef ambassadors and brand evangelists (including Julia Sherman of SALAD for President). Sarah would make a strong addition to any creative team, especially in the climate advocacy space. ”
