Fun Facts
Sarah and her young family love their Portland neighborhood and spend most of their off-hours getting to know their neighbors. On any given weekend, you’ll find them collaborating on house projects, hanging out in the park, or sharing a meal together. Sarah enjoys cooking from scratch and crafting, and has the typical engineer’s weakness of thinking, “Hey, I could do that!” So chances are, if you receive a gift from her, it will be home-cooked or handmade.
