Sarah Bauch

Sarah Bauch serves as the Marketing and Community Outreach coordinator for RJ Groiner, a third-generation family-owned HVAC and plumbing company in the Pocono Mountains. She has held this position for three years after transitioning from a twelve-year career as a professional stage manager. In her current role, Sarah manages all social media posts, YouTube videos, podcast production, email blasts, graphic design, billboard graphics, and data analytics while organizing community support initiatives for local fire departments and the Awesome Animal Shelter. Prior to joining the family business, she worked as production stage manager at Cornell University, where she also led the stage management lab for students. Sarah holds three degrees: an undergraduate degree in technical theater from a small state school, an MFA in Stage and Production Management from Carnegie Mellon University, and a Master's of Education from the same small state school. In 2022 she received the National Stage Management Award. She attributes her ability to pivot successfully to the problem-solving and organizational skills developed in theater, combined with her mother's encouragement and her own creativity.
