As Speakology’s Chief Executive Officer and co-owner of the practice, Sarah brings that passion and strong work ethic to everything that she does- whether it’s playing tetris with scheduling, collaborating with other professionals or thinking critically about a “deep dive” she just did into a learner’s profile.
