The newest addition to CLAC, Sarah arrives from a long background in community outreach and policy research. She is well prepared to extend information and resources throughout the state, and to bring community voices back to the lawmakers in order to promote effective policies that support Minnesota's latino community. WIth a passion for civic engagement developed over many years working with the Minnesota Secretary of State, she is aware of the capacity for state agencies to facilitate positive change, and is committed to connecting with latinos to increase participation in the democratic process. Through advocacy for nonprofits throughout the state and earlier congressional work, Sarah has gained strong experience in lobbying and collaborating with lawmakers and other leaders to create and support sound legislation. A native of Richfield, Minnesota, Sarah grew up to value her rapidly changing community. She has studied at Scripps College in southern California, and at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs at the University of Minnesota, where she researched sustainable systems, STEM education, and agriculture and rural communities. Sarah lived for two years in Ecuador as a Peace Corps Volunteer developing agricultural markets, an experience that continues to drive her support of immigrant communities. Outside of CLAC, she works for environmental justice and education through a number of organizations, and retreats to a multicultural household in central Minneapolis. She is very proud to conduct her work with the Chicano Latino Affairs Council to support the latino community and address its needs through state government.
