Bio
Melissa (Tilk) Smolko (she/her/hers)
Sara is a star with a bright, collaborative attitude and shining sales experience. I enjoyed working with and learning from Sara for sales/email marketing. As a communicator, Sara is an excellent writer for sales collateral and social media. I appreciate her ability to jump in and assimilate information into actionable content.

Sara Djubek leads her team with integrity and passion, and steers away from the traditional and sometimes toxic culture of sales, instead fostering a team of community and collaboration. Sara possesses an unwavering ability to build up the people around her, while still maintaining incredible sales numbers herself. I highly recommend Sara as a manager and mentor. She will be an asset to any organization she joins.
Stephanie Benedict
I can't say enough about how great it was to work with Sara. She was the first person I met at Aunt Flow and helped me get on-boarded. She's excellent with training and even incorporates roleplaying, which is super helpful. She's genuinely a happy person with a great sense of humor and also very caring. Sara always was there with open ears and an open heart to help whenever needed either personally or professionally. Although she was my direct manager for a short time, I greatly appreciated the 1-on-1 meetings we did that included additional, personalized training. Sara was a role model to me and rock star at Aunt Flow; anyone would be lucky to have her on their team.
