I’m a bridge-builder between old and new knowledge,
the science and the sacred.
Seven years ago I unplugged from the system…
I started my own company. I was craving more freedom to choose what I spent my time on - who I spent my time with and most importantly where I spent my time.
Steering my own ship…
I’ve worked across governments (local, state and federal), the education sector, with various purpose driven startups and aligned corporates.
I’ve co-created viral campaigns…
#votefortheplanet and #attnscottmorrison – both demanding a more accountable government with respect to climate change and climate risk.
You won’t find me in a lab or at a desk working on a spreadsheet...
Look for me out in the wild, co-designing experiences and solutions to increase the wellbeing of people and planet, infusing everything I do with as much playfulness as I can get away with.
“There are few people I know who can really change the world through their personality, passion and sheer determination. But Sara is one of them. A go-getter with seemingly unending enthusiasm and positivity, Sara is an ideator and creator who can bring opportunity to light whilst also bringing out the best in people. She is infectious and enlightening. ”
In a previous life…
I was the Education For Sustainability Manager at Macquarie University, TEDx speaker, Co-host for the Un-School of Disruptive Design, Program Manager for The Centre of Sustainability Leadership and Associate Editor of the International Journal of Sustainability in Higher Education.
I’m a renegade engineer and biomedical scientist…
Who has worked in sustainability for 10 years.
I'm a peer reviewed author…
In transformative education, sustainability, system change and eco-footprinting.
I was recently awarded…
Climate Reality Leader 2020, Sustainability Champion finalist in 2019 and Pitch at Palace People's Choice Winner in 2018.
“Sara can hold multiple big ideas in her brain at once, figure out how to connect them and then gather people to make them happen in a truly magical way.”
