Sarah has always been fascinated by the human body, in particular the brain. She earned her bachelor’s degree in Psychology and her PhD in Medical Neuroscience from Indiana University School of Medicine. After years of scientific research and numerous publications, Sarah realized her true passion laid more in communicating data rather than generating it. At Avant Healthcare, she’s contributed to over 15 launches and indication expansions, and she leads a team of medical directors and medical writers supporting commercial and medical affairs organizations, partnering across various stages of the product life cycle. When she’s not working or herding her kids, Sarah can be found herding cattle on her ranch.
