She brings four years of payroll processing experience with her, having most recently worked as a Staff Accountant and Controller for Provenance Hotels. The hospitality industry is where she’s grown up for the last 12 years, so Sarah knows the importance of excellent customer service.

Sarah is a true Oregonian, born and raised in Eugene but moving to Portland in 2006. Although she calls Portland home, she enjoys traveling and loves the fact that in the Pacific Northwest she can go from the beach to the mountain in just a few hours.

In her spare time, Sarah spends time with her husband and daughter – hiking, gardening, bike riding and daily walks with their dog. She loves all kinds of music and enjoys reading. One of her all-time favorite novels is ‘Wuthering Heights’ by Emily Bronte. Sarah also loves the Portland food scene and spends many weekends discovering new places and dishes to eat from all over the world. When she’s home, her green thumb is very busy caring for about 30 house plants.
