Sarah was a joy to work with! Despite the drastically different timezones she was very responsive and over-exceeded my expectations on the articles she wrote. Will definitely work with her again!

Interests
Industries I love
What I read
Yes. AIl of it. I love to read! I enjoy a wide range of fiction and alternate between genres, time periods, etc. I love the Atlantic Publications and get my daily news fix from Quartz. I also enjoy NPR, Fast Company, and Inc, poetry, podcasts...
Side projects
I completed my 2nd screenplay at the end of 2015; I'm always writing. I picked up the piano again and bought a keyboard in Vietnam. I'm involved with an e-commerce startup shipping custom shirts from Vietnam to New Zealand and a Hoi An travel site.
Ideal team
I thrive in startup, small team environments. Once the marketing team at Founders got larger, we enjoyed an open, collaborative work style with lots of brainstorming and creativity, which I loved. I like to work hard but from a playful, flexible mindset.
