Sarah Segrest
Originally from Mississippi, Sarah has worked in both the public and private sectors, at the corporate office of Coca-Cola Enterprises in Atlanta, Georgia and as a teacher and grant writer for the school district in Athens, Georgia. Her knowledge of these two distinct worlds is helping her become an effective grant-seeker for the school district in her community, which has the third highest poverty rate in the nation among communities with populations of between 65,000 and 259,999 people.
Sarah taught 7th and 8th grades in the school district prior to becoming a grant proposal writer for the same district. She is a single, 28-year-old fashion fanatic and music lover who revels in new experiences, new knowledge, and untried adventures. In her free time she helps raise money for her local YMCA, mentors at least one middle school student per year, plays drums, grows plants in pots, and loves to dance and, of course, write.
