Bio
Gillian Whitney
Sarah Dodd brings creativity and pizzazz to everything she does. Not content with being a top-notch lawyer, specializing in Tree Law, her marketing creativity light bulb is always on. When I began working with Sarah, she showed up for each and every coaching call knowing what video skills she wanted to learn. She quickly excelled in mastering video editing and content creation. She has since forged ahead with running her own YouTube channel and Live streaming on LinkedIn. Sarah was an absolute delight to work with. Highly recommend.
