This would not have been possible …
I wanted to thank you for all of your contributions to the AZ Science Committee preparation. Everything came together and feedback was very positive – we left a great impression of MedImmune.
This would not have been possible without your support and teamwork.

Sara was an amazing teammate
Sara was an amazing teammate on the CEO’s briefing photo project. She kept us on track and on time, pushing the project forward to ensure that we would be successful.

Your lanyard design helped us achieve success
Thank you for your support of the Diversity & Inclusion inaugural Summit. The Executive Diversity Advisory Group (EDAG) wanted a strong brand presence to reflect the importance of diversity and inclusion at the first ever Summit, including a nod to our focus this year on LGBT. Your lanyard design helped us achieve success. Thank you for running with the concept and quickly elevating it to a more professional and great looking lanyard. We received rave reviews for the lanyards and the best indication is the number of people still wearing their lanyard, including at the LGBT event with Brigadier General Tammy Smith. We appreciate your time and effort to support D&I and the EDAG!

I didn’t know that deck could get better …
I didn’t know that deck could get better … OMG!!!! OMG!!!! OMG!!!! Thank you so much. If I’d had the flow the way you just presented it I believe it would have been even more impactful. I am doing something similar to this in September so please love me enough to stay on the rotation and give me this kind of feedback. This was powerful feedback for me. COO is so lucky to have you – I hope they realize what a game changer you are. You have no idea. Thank you so much …

The quality of her work is exceptional

Senior Director, R&D, Clinical Pharmacology and DMPK
Creative and clear on the needs of various stakeholders
[…] now that the P&C SPC story is a wrap, I wanted to circle back one more time and share how exceptional it was to work with Sara. Not only did Sara bring her extraordinary abilities to turn bullet points and concepts into visuals that succinctly and compellingly make a point, she also brought humor and grace to tight deadlines, multiple cooks in the kitchen and the general frenzy of SPC preparation. She was incredibly professional, FAST (often startling me with the multiple options mocked up before I was even looking for them), creative and clear on the needs of various stakeholders. Thank you for creating capacity for this partnership. We would never have gotten the material to this level of polish and preparation without Sara.
VP, P&C Strategy
Sara is an exceptional creative designer
Sara is an exceptional creative designer. She’s very quick and can produce high quality work within a very short timeframe. She joined the team during the Operational Planning Process and was thrown into the middle of all of the work that was already in progress. Sara was able to course correct some of the work that was in progress and helped to elevate the design of the presentations. Sara’s work on the Board of Directors presentations was also outstanding, and she received compliments all around. As the resident presentation design expert, she led a training module for all of the COO Operational Planning team. The team learned a lot during the session and were all very thankful for Sara’s insights and wisdom. Sara takes the time to understand the business messages behind the design and takes a very thoughtful approach to doing this, deconstructing graphics to ensure messages are clear. An example of this is the work she did on the Board of Directors Competitive Review presentation with the executives who are the subject matter experts. They both appreciated her point of view and advice and were very grateful to have her help.
Executive Director, (now AVP), COO
This would never get done without your expertise and amazing design skills
The meeting with Stuart went well today and he was extraordinarily pleased with the plan document. He said if he could give out a Peabody award he would. This would never get done without your expertise and amazing design skills. You are awesome!
