Sara has been an avid disc golfer since 2007 and started playing competitively in 2008. In 2010, she began running charity disc golf events for her local nonprofits and clinics to help get more women playing.
Sara worked for the Professional Disc Golf Association from 2011-2017 as the Memberships Manager then Women’s initiatives consultant. During her time with the PDGA, she helped revamp the PDGA Women’s Committee and start the PDGA Women’s Global Event in 2012 – the largest PDGA event for a single demographic within the sport of disc golf. In 2016, Sara assisted in landing disc golf on the National Day Calendar. There is now an official National Disc Golf Day every year (International Calendar coming soon).
Sara co-founded the nonprofit Throw Pink (2013) to get more women and girls playing disc golf while raising funds for women’s health initiatives. She has assisted in running 10 PDGA World Championship events and numerous other disc golf events. Sara has competed in 119 PDGA Sanctioned events with 43 wins on her resume, including an Amateur United States Women’s Championship title.
She is passionate about the impact sports play on women’s health both physically and mentally and has made it her life’s mission to use her love for disc golf to make a difference in communities worldwide.
When she’s not working on her nonprofit or at her full-time job with Innova Disc Golf as their East Coast Donations and Event Coordinator, she enjoys playing disc golf, ultimate, hiking, and playing with her cats and dog.
