Sarah (she/her) joins EdTrust-West as a Data and Research Analyst with a background in data analysis, research, government consulting, and service. Before EdTrust-West, she supported quantitative research for the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS). While attending UCLA, she was involved in research on the history of higher education’s response to crisis, and research on crime and policing through assisting with data management. Her experience with the California public education system, both as a student growing up in the East Bay and as a tutor volunteering in local communities since high school, has informed an understanding of the education system as having immense potential for a positive impact on the lives of California’s students, yet marked by deeply entrenched racial and economic inequities. Sarah graduated from UCLA with a B.S. in Statistics and a minor in History. As the daughter of immigrants and a Bay Area native, she is passionate about using data to inform a more equitable education system in California.
