Meet the team

Sara is the youngest of three daughters of business owners from Kendallville. In 2020, she graduated from East Noble High School with Academic Honors and continued her education at Trine University. During her time at Trine, Sara held various leadership positions within her local sorority, was a part of Women in Business, and worked as a part-time barista at Caleo Friends & Coffee. She graduated Trine in May of 2024 with her Master of Business Administration and Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a marketing major. 

Sara attributes her philanthropic tendencies to her parents’ charitable giving, as they led by example through selfless donations and volunteering. After completing a 15-month internship with the Steuben County Community Foundation, Sara determined joining SCCF staff was her way of making a difference in our community. The purpose of the Stewardship Manager position is to support the Steuben County Community Foundation’s annual philanthropic revenue development goals and strategic marketing plan. Sara is responsible for providing donor relations and stewardship support, managing the donor/client relationship management portion of the database, and creating content for marketing materials, presentations, and social media.

Outside of her work at SCCF, she resides in Fort Wayne with her partner, where they’re raising their puppy, enjoy working out, cooking healthy meals, and being outdoors.
