I don’t wait for someone to tell me what needs to be improved. I look for the gaps, take initiative, and turn ideas into results.

Her Story
About Sarah
I’m a marketing and strategy professional with experience spanning client engagement, market insights, marketing operations, and professional services.
I started my career in legal marketing at Fox Rothschild and later supported marketing operations for DLA Piper through Epiq, where I developed a strong foundation in project coordination, client materials, pitches, events, and workflow management. Most recently, I brought that operational foundation into a highly client-facing role at 52Launch, presenting research and marketing strategies throughout the product development process and helping clients turn early ideas into launch-ready products.
Across my experience, I’ve found that I’m at my best where strategy, organization, and communication intersect. I enjoy bringing structure to complex projects, making information easier to act on, and being the person behind the scenes making sure everything is organized, polished, and ready when clients and teams need it.
Outside of work, I’m usually hiking or backpacking, exploring an art market, practicing yoga, or spending time with my cat.
Her Interview
Ten minutes with Sarah
01What do you attribute your success to?
I attribute my success to being willing to take on things before I feel completely ready. Some of the biggest steps in my career have come from saying yes to challenges that stretched me, learning quickly, and trusting myself to figure things out along the way. I’ve also been fortunate to have managers and colleagues who recognized my strengths and encouraged me to advocate for myself.
02What’s the best career advice you’ve ever received?
My mom gave me some of the best career advice after college: don’t wait for the perfect time to pursue what you want, because it rarely comes. She encouraged me not to overthink every decision or stay stuck wondering whether a change was the “right” one. Taking risks has taught me that even when something doesn’t work out exactly as planned, it gives you clarity and keeps you from wondering, “What if?”
03What advice would you give to young women entering your industry?
Don’t be afraid to be seen or to speak up, even when you’re not completely sure you have the answer. Early in my career, I learned that advocating for your work can be just as important as doing good work. Share your wins, keep track of your accomplishments, and don’t assume people automatically know what you’re contributing. You are often your own strongest advocate.
04What are the biggest challenges or opportunities in your field right now?
One of the biggest opportunities in marketing right now is learning how to use technology to make work more efficient without losing the human judgment behind it. AI can accelerate research, organization, and repetitive processes, but strategy still requires curiosity, critical thinking, creativity, and an understanding of people. I think the strongest marketers will be the ones who can use new tools thoughtfully while knowing when human judgment matters most.
05What values are most important to you in your work and personal life?
Thoughtful communication, curiosity, and mindfulness are some of the values I try to bring into both my work and personal life. I care about treating people with respect, recognizing the contributions of others, and creating an environment where people feel comfortable sharing ideas. I also value staying curious and continuing to learn, especially in a field that is constantly changing.
