Functional Areas
Public Relations, Employee Communications and Promotion
Projects
Copywriting for news releases, brochures and advertisements, as well as anything else that drifts her way.
Likes
Goofing off with my husband, reading, the Minnesota Vikings, taking photos and scrapbooking, baking, shopping and the thought (but not the actual reality of doing the work) of being organized.
Dislikes
Bad grammar and spelling, cold weather, bad drivers and trying to get my kids to stop playing video games.
Education
Sarah has a bachelor’s degree in English, speech and theater from Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa (the original Cornell, founded by a cousin of the guy who started that other school a couple years later). She’s working toward an MBA.
