Sarah is an undergraduate student at Stanford University. Though still undeclared, she is leaning towards majoring in economics with a potential minor in sociology with her primary interests lying at the intersection of finance, law, and academia. She always seeks to foreground social impact in all her pursuits, working extensively to further causes of immigrant rights, educational equity, and gender equality.

Most recently, she interned at the Northwest Immigrant Rights Project in her hometown of Seattle, working closely with survivors of domestic abuse and human trafficking, aiding them in filing for immigration relief. Previously, as a project consultant for Arts in Action, a nonprofit focused on ensuring comprehensive, accessible arts education for K-12 students, she developed a robust interest in facilitating effective client relationships whilst formulating strategic recommendations aimed at expanding the organization’s donor network. 

At Stanford, Sarah presides over marketing and communications for both Stanford Women in Finance and Stanford Marketing Group, working in tight-knit teams to provide immersive professional development opportunities to the broader student body.
