CEO, ERH Contracting
What I appreciate most about working with Sarah is that she genuinely understands my industry—and more importantly, she understands me. She doesn’t just throw around marketing language. She listens, interprets, and then recreates what I’m trying to say with a clarity and authenticity that’s rare. I’ve worked with others who just 'yes' me to death and turn out something generic. But with Sarah, it’s different. Our work together feels like a real partnership—collaborative, honest, and deeply thoughtful. She gives meaningful feedback rooted in understanding, not flattery. That sense of truly being heard and building something together is what makes her stand out.

Working with Sarah at Gould Academy was a pleasure. She kept our projects organized and moving forward, even when things got busy or unexpected challenges came up. Sarah communicates clearly, follows through on what she says, and helps everyone stay focused on the goal. She brings calm energy to the team and finds smart, practical solutions.

Working with Sarah at Carrabassett Valley Academy was fun and productive. She brought calm to the chaos with her enthusiastic leadership and she maintained a clear, repeatable system as the Director of Communications.
