With over 20 years experience at the intersection of design and technology in Silicon Valley, Sara continues to pioneer paths for female leadership in the tech field. She has cleared a path for women in Silicon Valley without losing sight of her values and commitments to positive change, pushing boundaries, and doing it all in a supportive, creative environment. In this episode Sara shares with us about her upbringing by urban parents in a rural setting, her role as a critical thinker, and how she finds being a woman in a male-dominated field.
