Sarah brings a curious and thoughtful energy to her role as Proposal Coordinator at ACI. With a background in architectural technology, Sarah combines writing and strategy to create proposals that connect ACI’s expertise with each client’s unique goals — turning complex information into engaging, strategic narratives.

Her work is dynamic and ever-changing, which is exactly what she enjoys most. Each pursuit offers a new opportunity to learn about the projects, people, and the priorities that shape our built environment. Sarah’s approach balances detail with perspective: she’s precise in how information is written, but always keeps the bigger picture in mind, asking thoughtful questions and staying flexible to meet each challenge.

Her approach is flexible and inquisitive, always guided by the belief that asking the right questions leads to stronger, more meaningful outcomes. Whether she’s refining a proposal or exploring a new idea, Sarah brings a keen eye for detail and a deep appreciation for the unexpected intersections that spark innovation.

Outside of ACI, Sarah is a lover of true crime podcasts, horror movies, sci-fi series, and who-dunit novels. She finds joy in painting, pottery, writing, and being a tourist in her own city, often diving into new interests on a whim, keeping life delightfully unpredictable.
