About

As a researcher, Sarah investigates equitable economic growth in communities, small businesses, and within the workforce through both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. In her qualitative research, she employs grounded theories to ensure inclusivity and allowing participants to frame priorities. Her quantitative research has focused on how external factors, such as financial markets or cultural biases, can impact women and/or the poor in both developed and developing countries. Additionally, she utilizes the economic impact modeling software IMPLAN to assist communities and companies to understand the effects of current or proposed activities on equitable economic growth.
