Hey! My name is Sarah. I'm originally from Northern California in the middle of the redwood forest, but have been living and breathing in Santa Cruz, Alaska, Idaho, Cairo, Amman, and recently, back to Idaho again. I've lived a good bit in the middle East, so if you want to speak Arabic, I will be very excited and probably not very good at it. I recently left a career working in refugee resettlement (which I LOVED) to pursue my teaching credential. My students are a constant source of joy and stress and chaos in my life, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I am a generally curious and thoughtful person with an affinity for bright colors, dirt, big maps, and unfinished stories. I'm passionate about education, fresh produce, and human rights. I love to play and explore and make messes, whether I'm cooking, painting, building, planting, etc. I'm always looking for new things to be grateful for, and reasons to be joyful. Yalla!
