Bio
Christopher Durkin
I had the opportunity to supervise Sara for a year when she was a Resident Assistant. Sara's outlook on life was refreshing in the face of a job that proved to be challenging. Sara is great at connecting to others and accepting them as they are. I had no doubt that in any situation I could rely on Sara to get done what needed to be done and to do so with a positive attitude. Sara is a dedicated, hard worker that any organization would benefit from working with.
