about me
Hi there! I'm Sarah, a product manager and human-centered technologist. I am passionate about building systems and tools that improve people's lives. I have experience launching new products at early-stage startups, modernizing and scaling existing products, and coaching software development teams. As a consultant at Artium, I now work with companies of all kinds to connect business goals to development, iteratively define and refine product strategy, and deliver products that create business value while delighting users.
I was previously a product manager at Fluxx, a cloud platform for philanthropic grantmaking. I owned multiple core product initiatives, including internationalization and reimagining our approach to third-party integrations. I was a finalist for the Fluxx DNA Award for exemplary performance and embodiment of Fluxx values. Prior to Fluxx I worked as a product manager at LifeLink, an early-stage startup. I delivered SMS- and chat-based patient engagement solutions for our healthcare and clinical research customers. As the sole woman when I joined the team, I also championed various changes that led to gender parity at the company and improvement in other key DE&I metrics.
Some of my proudest achievements in tech are outside of work. I volunteer with Ragtag, an organization that mobilizes technologists to support progressive causes. Through Ragtag I've led the development of two web apps in partnership with FreeFrom, a nonprofit dedicated to economic justice for survivors of domestic violence. Together we built the Compensation Compass, which provides education on legal paths to compensation in the aftermath of abuse, and the National Survivor Wealth Policy Map, which scores all 50 U.S. states on their domestic violence policies and empowers users to take action. I also volunteer with Tech for Campaigns, which provides tech-based solutions for Democratic candidates for state and local office. I've helped with website design and copywriting as well as SMS-based GOTV initiatives. Finally, I'm a proud member of the Women in Product community and love to mentor people of all backgrounds to pursue a career in product management and tech.
I graduated from Columbia University with a BA in Computer Science & Business Management. My studies also included a variety of courses in the humanities and social sciences. Throughout my education I explored questions at the intersection of technology, society, and human nature.
I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, where I currently reside. In my spare time I enjoy traveling, cooking, practicing yoga, reading, scuba diving, and blind-tasting wine.
