Springfield, New Jersey, United States
For someone who doesn't consider herself a hat person, I sure do wear a lot of them! I'm a professional storyteller, a visual and musical artist, an entrepreneur, a lover of purple and shiny objects, and a creative at heart. At work, I find and implement tech-driven solutions to market people, brands, strategies, and products, with 4+ years of experience spanning the worlds of consulting, D2C and B2B marketing, strategy, and actuarial science under my belt. I leverage my passions for creativity, leadership, accessibility, and most importantly, people, to make the world a more colorful place and lead with empathy. I’m a two-time graduate of the Binghamton University School of Management. I earned my BS in Honors Business Administration (Leadership and Marketing) in 2024, and my MBA in Management Information Systems in 2025. At Binghamton, I was the only graduate student on campus to be selected to give a TEDx talk and won the SUNY Chancellor's Award for Student Excellence. For any questions regarding my experiences, please feel free to contact me at [email protected]. To learn how I can help you develop professionally, reach out at [email protected].
I currently work as a Private Equity Value Creation Strategy Consultant primarily supporting the Go to Market (GTM) and TMT practices. GTM integrates sales, marketing, channel, and partner strategy to maximize value for our PE and PE port-co clients. I contribute to GTM due diligences, long-term value creation projects, and model refreshes that update previous diligence work with the newest data, benchmarks, and frameworks available. My job, while inherently analytical, lets me work as a professional brainstormer; it allows me to synthesize complex datasets into digestible stories for an executive audience that pave the way for future action and success. In my role, I've assisted with the exit readiness strategic plan for a large, multinational compliance company, created functional applications leveraging Microsoft VS Code for a global tax corporation, refreshed the operating model for a $2.5B edtech merger, and developed internal marketing tools to help sell work for the practice. I communicate cross-functionally with other Strategy& and PwC teams as well as our AC team in India to create the smoothest communication possible during deals.
Suit Up With Sarah is a boutique career development firm helping clients transform into the 2.0 versions of their professional selves. I've assisted 100+ individual clients and 10+ groups with resume reviews, interview coaching, public speaking, LinkedIn refreshes, and bespoke offerings. I run all aspects of the business, including marketing and graphic design, invoicing and order management, client relations, management of my D2C website, and service offerings.
My brother and I started a venture during my MBA dedicated to making the grocery store experience faster, cheaper, and safer for American consumers. I lead brand direction, graphic design, and strategy as we build LocalLists with the support of the Koffman Southern Tier Incubator in Binghamton, NY. My passion for this project is driven by my experience shopping with a life-threatening food allergy, wanting to tailor the one-size-fits-all grocery experience so everyone can enjoy shopping with safety as a #1 priority. LocalLists placed first at the regional round of the NYBPC, third in the software and services track of the state-wide NYBPC, and first in Binghamton University’s Pitch It competition.
At AeroBing, my responsibilities included creating and managing accounting, marketing, and organizational strategies that allowed Binghamton's most brilliant rocket scientists to accomplish their goals of shooting a self-made rocket past the Kármán line into space. I leveraged my business background to enable this Watson student organization to thrive by handling the behind-the-scenes activities in spreadsheets, databases, and meetings.
In my first summer at Blue Oyster Consulting, I utilized Microsoft Excel and Microsoft Word to rewrite two corporate rating manuals; produce contract and loss reports with the appliance warranty and return records of 25+ distributors to project the effectiveness and profitability of current company policies. That summer, I started my role organizing the annual undergraduate scholarship for the Casualty Actuaries of the Mid-Atlantic Region (CAMAR). For four years, I directed the scholarship across 16 universities to reward students' academic and actuarial excellence with a combined $60,000 in awards. I work directly with the board to collect all materials, communicate with the schools' heads of their respective actuarial departments, and serve as the liaison between the judging committee and applicants.
