As Surfrider's Northern California Regional Manager, Sara supports the chapters from San Mateo County up to Humboldt County with campaigns, programs, and operations. 

After earning a B.S. in Ecology from UC San Diego and an M.S. in Marine Science from UC Santa Barbara, Sara has focused her career on developing and delivering science education and outreach programs to foster ocean literacy, create connection, and to instill the importance of protecting our oceans to audiences of all ages. After many years working with the national marine sanctuaries, she is thrilled to align her passion and purpose of protecting our ocean and coast through community engagement and action with the Surfrider Foundation.

In her free time, you can find Sara hiking, paddling, and enjoying the awe inspiring nature of Northern California with her family.
