Sarah also joined the team in 2015, at the start of the Capital Campaign, as the Development & Communications Officer. Sarah’s previous work experience was varied; she was a Director of Flash Marketing at a hotel for 3 years, a Client Services Worker at a food bank for 5 years, and an Event Planner for 3 years. Sarah’s experience with event planning, grant writing, marketing, and community service brought a blend of skills to her role at Groves Foundation; which she felt was the perfect fit in a wonderful and welcoming community (after she got over her fear of public speaking). After welcoming her daughter Sadie, in July 2020, she re-joined the Foundation and has now transitioned into a new role in Communications & Donor Relations. Sarah looks forward to being part of the future of the new Groves.
