Sarah works quietly, mainly in the background, making sure everything is going in the right direction. She works with so many people to make sure everything runs smoothly to deliver great articles, but particularly when it comes to the Essentials Certificate. There is so much organising of people, edits, copy, etc. that goes unseen, but is vital to ensuring the end product is all pulled together and delivered for the MoTaverse. Thank you Sarah, for all you do. 

Thank you for giving insightful feedback on our latest curriculum! I really value your creative thinking and problem-solving skills 

As teased yesterday, I made a rug of Bug!
