In doing so, Sarah launched her writing career and has since worked for brands like REI Co-op Journal, Kit Supply + Co. (a sustainable outdoor kid's apparel shop), Seacoast Moms, and GRLSAVAGE (a small apparel company dedicated to empowering women of all shapes and sizes).Sarah has also worked for Wildkind, Inc. as their Sustainability Expert helping parents bring their kids outside with more knowledge about the nature under their feet. She has also been a huge supporter of maternal mental health and worked with hundreds of moms as part of the executive team at Adventure Mamas Initiative.
