Sarah Cleary was born and raised in Austin, Texas. She attended the Language Arts, Science, and Math Academy at LBJ High School and fell in love with volunteering through a leadership and mentorship program there. She continued to pursue this passion while obtaining her degree in Economics from the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where she led three student-run organizations, mentoring and supporting underserved populations in the greater Detroit area. For the past ten years, Sarah has been working with nonprofits in the Houston area and is proud to call Houston home. She is very passionate about creating life-long learners and extending learning outside the classroom. She is driven to serve her community and share her experiences and gifts with those around her. Sarah hopes to excite this same passion for learning, leading, and serving. Sarah and her husband both work with middle school youth. You will find them at a sporting event, play, or church service project with their daughters in tow. In her spare time, Sarah enjoys going to movies, cooking (and eating), and relaxing with friends.
