Sarah joined CUB in 2024 as a Policy Associate. She comes to this work with a background in community organizing, policy research, and social work. Sarah entered environmental justice advocacy in 2019 via the Sunrise Movement while she was working at her local community garden. Prior to joining CUB, Sarah was a community organizer working with mining-impacted communities in Nevada to meaningfully address the various adverse social, ecological, cultural, and spiritual impacts of the hardrock mining industry.

From this work, Sarah brings an understanding of the need to break down the technical and political gatekeeping extractive industries benefit from. She understands that changing energy sources alone will not address the layers of injustice associated with business as usual. As a Policy Associate with CUB, Sarah is committed to working with impacted communities and other advocates to help bridge the gaps that often exist between decision-makers, organizers, and impacted communities when it comes to policy-making.
