Sarah is a veteran who loves helping others—especially the teens in her community. She's been volunteering at the Fuzion Teen Center in Mooresville, NC, since it opened in 2018. Currently, Sarah is the center's Executive Director, a role that has led her to continue her education in order to better meet the needs of those she serves.
Though Sarah already holds a bachelor's degree in general studies, she has decided to enroll in the nonprofit management program at Liberty University. By learning more about financial management, grant writing, fundraising, and how to use social media effectively, Sarah hopes to build on and expand the work she's already done, such as establishing a trade workshop so the teens she works with can gain skills that will help pull them out of poverty.
In addition to her classes and her work with the Fuzion Teen Center, Sarah is also a disabled veteran who served in the United States Air Force from 1990-1995. She enlisted right as the Gulf War was starting and excelled at her military training. In addition to earning a below-the-zone promotion, Sarah also received the Angel Award for the volunteer work she did at a nearby hospital. She was medically retired after receiving a service-connected disability, but still looks back at her service with both fondness and pride.
