Biography
Sarah brings more than a decade of experience connecting environmental science with public health practice. At the Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium, she works alongside communities to understand climate-driven risks, from thawing permafrost to changing subsistence patterns, and plan for healthy adaptation.
Her work emphasizes collaboration, applied science, and supporting communities as they prepare for and respond to emerging environmental challenges. Joining the ASCH board is especially meaningful to Sarah, who first connected with ASCH as an Emerging Professional Award recipient in 2013.

Sarah enjoys swimming, walking her dog, and getting lost in a good book.
