Sarah’s career working in youth programming in Vermont started in 2003 at Green Mountain Peer Projects and has continued through more recent work in after school and summer programming at local school districts.
This will be Sarah’s second summer at Putney. She finds supporting youth who have the chance to immerse themselves in their passions is incredibly rewarding and believes that The Putney Summer Programs is the perfect setting for this to take place.
When not at Puntey, Sarah spends as much time with her amazing family as she can. She enjoys seeing live music, skiing, and camping.
