Senior Director, Technical Training Operations | Department Leader
"Sara joined the Proofpoint training team as an intern and worked with us for just over a year. Her role was intern, but her contributions were well above expectations for an intern. Her communications were outstanding, and she handled challenging customers with grace and maturity. She learned our enterprise applications quickly and became adept at handling complex tasks in our LMS.
She was constantly looking for optimizations, and brought many meaningful improvements to our operations and/or customer experience. She's a quick learner, works very hard, and is great with customers. It was a pleasure having her on my team and I would recommend her without hesitation for anything she's interested in doing.”

"When I first joined the team, Sara was the intern who helped me get up to speed - which says everything about her abilities! Despite her title, her contributions went far beyond what you'd expect from an intern. She quickly mastered our complex enterprise applications and became our go-to expert on the LMS system.
What impressed me most was watching Sara handle challenging customers with remarkable poise and professionalism. Her communication skills are exceptional - always clear, thoughtful, and effective even in difficult situations.
Sara has this natural talent for spotting opportunities to improve processes. She created detailed documentation that was always one step ahead of what the team needed and implemented meaningful optimizations that genuinely enhanced both our operations and customer experience.
I went from being coached by Sara to being inspired by her work ethic. She's incredibly self-motivated, detail-oriented, and takes full ownership of projects without needing reminders. She remains calm under pressure and still makes time to support colleagues.
Any company would be incredibly fortunate to have Sara on their team. I can't recommend her highly enough - she'll undoubtedly be an exceptional asset for any company lucky to have her in their midst!"

Within our team, Sara established herself as the go-to person for questions on many aspects of operations, and always made the time to help out a colleague… although with the extensive documentation she put together, Sara was usually one step ahead of every ask."

"Sara was a client I had the pleasure of working with through my role in Customer Success at Scribe. As a power user of our SaaS product in her role in Training Ops at Proofpoint, she consistently demonstrated a keen eye for detail, sharp insights, and the ability to clearly articulate her observations and questions.
Over the past year, we connected multiple times to discuss her feedback on our product. She was always looking for ways to leverage the full capabilities of Scribe to enhance client education and learning. In every interaction, Sara was professional, well-organized, and thorough.
I have no doubt that she will be a bar-raiser wherever she lands. She’s bright, coachable, and deeply invested in learning and growth. Any team would be lucky to have her!"
Senior Account Executive, Retail Partnerships | Mentor
"I had the pleasure of mentoring Sara during her summer internship on the Client Partnerships team at Ibotta. From day one, Sara impressed me with her strong work ethic, curiosity and drive to succeed. She consistently went above & beyond what the team asked of her as the sole intern, taking initiative in solving problems and demonstrating a genuine eagerness to learn & grow.
In her role, Sara quickly mastered a large suite of performance analysis tools, including Looker, Mode & multiple different affiliate networks, translating these metrics into insightful findings & recommendations that the sales team could take to market. She proved to be such a resource to the team that she even created a resource library still in use to this day for new team members to utilize during onboarding. And for her capstone project, she created a robust case study on the benefits of using AI translation tools to appeal to more Spanish-speaking users and a recommended implementation plan for the platform.
Beyond just her technical abilities, Sara is a true team player who embodies empathy & kindness into everything she does! She is a valuable asset to any team, and I have no doubt she will achieve great things in her career."
Franchise Co-Owner, Smoothie King | Former Manager
"Sara is a stand-up individual not only in terms of character, but also in personality, academics, and her leadership qualities. I have no doubt given the opportunity to join any company, she would represent it exceptionally well.
Sara was the General Manager at my Smoothie King for over a year and a few months, and I can tell you with the utmost confidence that she is a very driven young woman. Sara is the manager at the store and she basically runs the everyday operations at the store. She has been a great asset to my business and will be truly missed once she moves on to great endeavors.
I can attest that she has huge ambition and will be successful in whatever she does. Please contact me if you need more information."
Franchise Co-Owner, Smoothie King | Former Manager
"Sara’s leadership has been nothing short of extraordinary. When we opened our first Smoothie King location, our manager quit on opening day. At just 18 years old, Sara immediately stepped up and took on the role of General Manager — guiding a brand-new business with owners who had no prior restaurant experience.
Her dedication was evident from the start: even before opening, she worked after her shifts at another job to help us prepare the store. Under her leadership, we not only survived the challenges of launching a new restaurant during COVID-19 but became a profitable business.
I truly don’t know how we would have made it through those early stages without Sara’s initiative, resilience, and steady leadership. She is a natural problem-solver, highly motivated, and someone I would recommend without hesitation for any opportunity she pursues"
