Sarah graduated from Harvard in 2006 with a B.A. in Bioethics and Public Policy. She is currently in Medical School at the University of Michigan. Sarah has an extensive international background. She worked with the Clinton Foundation in Lesotho, empowering African governments to improve national laboratory capacity for HIV/AIDS treatment. Her work also helped enhance the local leadership’s ability to map the scope of the HIV/AIDS and devise effective treatment and prevention strategies.

Sarah’s work and travels have brought her to Rwanda, Zimbabwe, South Africa, Botswana, Namibia, and many other countries. Her previous work includes laboratory research on the molecular basis of learning and memory, which was published in Cell in 2006.

Sarah believes that accelerating technologies carry great potential to erase traditional inequities in access to resources. She is particularly enthused about using technologies such as cell phones, narrow AI, data mining, data visualization, genetic information, and the internet to drastically improve quality and access in education and health care.
