An English major, she has taken her academic interests into an array of community and activist projects, including non-profit organizations such as Telling My Story and Breakthrough New York that bring teaching in the arts and literature to underserved communities. Both her scholarly work and her work as a student activist at Dartmouth have addressed issues including the environment, sexual violence, and race. Sarah writes extensively.
