Sarah has always been grateful to have studied at York. Since graduating, her career path has been varied and she would like to bring what she has learned from her wide range of experiences particularly to those who need support at different times of their career. She is also keen to encourage alumni engagement, particularly internationally, in order to foster lifelong collaborations with York and a strong sense of community and belonging within the alumni network.
