Sari (she/her) serves as the Program Manager for StartUp, our entrepreneurship learning community. A true renaissance woman, she has worked in a variety of positions at UW-Madison for over 25 years including (but not limited to): Lecturer and Advisor at UW-Madison School of Journalism and Communication, Student Affairs Manager at the Center for Interfaith Dialogue, and as our “swing” Program Manager for various learning communities during staff vacancies. Unable to limit her talents to UW-Madison, Sari has also worked in various capacities in the corporate world, including as an Account Supervisor at Leo Burnett advertising and Account Director at DDB Chicago Advertising.
Originally from suburban Washington DC, Sari holds an AB from the University of Chicago. While there she colonized the first sorority (AOPi), but became a bit disenchanted when she and her fellow sisters realized they wouldn’t automatically get a big fancy house like they saw in the movies 🙂 She enjoys walking her dog (frankly, walking anywhere with anyone!).
