Barbara Efird, M.Ed.
Sarah is a dynamic new professional in the field of higher education. She managed the college bookstore with professionalism and accuracy and was admired by all- faculty, students and staff. During this time, Sarah was considering Higher Education Administration as her career goal. I was personally and professionally elated when Sarah decided that Higher Education was the career path she decided to explore and soon embarked. She had great rapport with students, faculty and staff and would be a great addition to any college or university. I look forward to seeing where she "lands" and continue to support her in all her endeavors. Her best quality is- you can depend on her!
