About Sarah, By Sarah: I grew up in a tight knit family in Los Angeles, California. I was a dorky kid that loved school and theater and always knew I wanted a big job that was going to challenge me. After going to UC Berkeley for college, I had the amazing opportunity to live in Europe and work at a film festival there. Besides falling in love with traveling the world, this is also where I learned how to work in media, which I have been doing ever since. Today I work as the VP of the Global Digital business at The North Face, and couldn’t love my work more.
Outside of work, my friends mean the world to me. I am still close with many of my best friends from Elementary school and Junior High and do everything I can to make sure we stay in touch. I am a big letter writer and never miss a birthday. Outside of friends and work I love to garden, cook, stay fit, and participate in the community around me. I love going to new restaurants, seeing comedy, going to museums, and traveling any chance that I get.
Luckily, because most of my work is remote, I can be present for all the daily fun. Plus Eli and I both have generous time off policies so we are going to be able to be home for most of the first year together.
When we have a child, I am most excited for all the little things. I can’t wait to read them bedtime stories, make their favorite meals, and have dance parties as a part of daily life. I am also excited to get into whatever our child loves. Whether it’s piano lessons or football, I’m going to most love helping them pursue their passions and experiencing the joy they find in them.
More About Sarah by Eli: Sarah makes everything in our life feel like magic. Whether it’s packing lunches and snacks for a road trip, planning a Sunday morning breakfast, or making the most out of a weekend adventure Sarah makes the little things in life feel truly special. Our home has always been a gathering place for friends, family, and community because everyone we know wants to spend as much time in Sarah’s world as humanly possible. From the moment I met Sarah there was no question that she would be the absolute best thing that ever happened to me and I know deep in my bones that she is going to be the most loving, caring, and supportive Mom there is. Our future child will always be on time for school, with a lunch pack others dream about, supported in all of their interests and passions, and empowered to make both their big and small dreams come true.
