Bio
Genét Garamendi
Sara is an incredible, smart and talented writer as well as event planner and organizer. I have seen her handle a wide variety of situations from the most stressful of advertising filming situations with her On Location work, to organizational committee work bringing people together on events, and intense writing deadlines all with true grace. Her strong organizational and people skills coupled with her writing talent makes her a sought after team member. But more importantly, Sara brings passion, contagious enthusiasm and great sense of humor to whatever project that she is working on and that makes her a joy to work with on any project.
Laura Palmer
Sara has a definite way with the written word. Sara and I have worked on several local committees and she has represented me and my house through her Media Location Services company. She is driven, direct, and an excellent communicator. She is a natural born leader and motivator. Anyone looking for someone with a passion for perfection, along with fantastic writing, communication and leadership skills (not to mention boundless energy) should hire Sara. She is a force!
