Résumé in brief and other information:
Sarah became interested in issues of poverty and justice after spending a year living amoung neighbors and working with a church in a low-income community in Atlanta, Georgia with Mission Year. This focus continued when she wrote her masters’ thesis: “Welcome to the Neighborhood: Effects of Urban Immersion on Participants' Attitudes Towards the Poor, Belief in a Just World, and Values.” She also served as a teaching intern at the University of Kentucky, helping students think critically about sociological concepts. Currently, she enjoys living in the heart of Los Angeles and is active in a multiethnic congregation in her neighborhood.
