More than ever, it is time for governments worldwide, especially those of vulnerable nations, to re-appraise their public diplomacy strategies to become more intersectional with cross-cutting political issues, such as human rights, and to re-align foreign policy objectives of conflict prevention and stabilization, with the Sustainable Development Goals.

Sara ignited her mission with the intention of cultivating business models that would ultimately improve human welfare and promote sustainable development in the international community. To date, Sara is the author of "Leveraging the Global Political Economy for Sustainable Development." She has extensive experience in foreign policy consulting for over 40 governments, as well as creating international think tanks, labs, summits, NGOs, research, and development initiatives to address the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.

With a focus on data and transformative governance in developing nations, she aims to redefine the role of foreign policy and diplomacy in sustainable development, and thus utilize a new approach to advancing the international agenda. She specializes in social development and creating inclusive, multi-sectoral partnerships with global stakeholders of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Sara formerly served on the UNICEF USA National Council and worked with the US Dept. of State to create a national leadership program for university students.

She founded Hale in order to cultivate sustainability-focused and data-driven policy solutions for world health ministries.

Moreoever, as a United Nations advisor, UNESCO Inclusive Policy Lab Expert, Global Shaper by the World Economic Forum, and Harvard fellow, her work has been endorsed by the Prime Ministers of Libya, Rwanda, and The Congo, who are key partners of CollatEd Lab.
