Sara Reamy

As a strategic leader in the nonprofit industry, I enjoy turning vision into reality. I'm an experienced team-builder who collaborates with a wide range of people to achieve goals. With strong public speaking skills, I'm adept at leading problem solving and brainstorming sessions with a positive and encouraging spirit. After years of cross-cultural work, I have a trained ear for discerning the nuances of multicultural communication, and enjoy working on diverse teams. 

By nature, I create spaces for people to thrive. I cultivate deep connections with people in all walks of life, from 3-years old to 93-years old. I am passionate about soul care.
