SARA
Helping others understand the trials that come with having a physical disability by sharing one overcoming story after another.
RESERVE SARA AS YOUR INSPIRATIONAL KEYNOTE SPEAKER
"I am so honored to know that I've helped pave the way for countless others after me to attend public school with a disability and also by completing my Airline/Travel/Tourism Certificate, both with honors.
Through these experiences, I aim to help others understand what it can be like when you're faced with the reality that you're "different" from your peers."

Hope and dreams
Are still very real!
I know that just because I have a physical disability that doesn’t mean that I can’t have the same hopes and dreams as the next person. I may have to modify it but I can still achieve it. I'm grateful that my physical disability may be the key in giving me just the right drive and motivation that I need. I know that no matter what - I'll never stop trying to share the message that hope and dreams are still very real despite being confined to a wheelchair. I've realized that everything I've gone through in life, is my purpose. I want to share that with you too.
It’s incredibly important to me that I help share my insight on living and working with a physical disability. To influence others how to “Design a life that they love.”
It’s a motto that I like to live by. I may not like the hand that I was dealt but I always play the hand and like to think I’ve played it well.
I’ve had the highest of highs and lowest of lows being physically challenged but I wouldn’t change it. For myself, I always try to stress the importance of trying to better myself with each passing day.

Our players and staff are huge fans of Sara because of her perseverance and resilience. Sara has chosen to use her adversity to help others and encourage people to be grateful for each day.
Sara is an amazing person and when times get tough her message acts as a compass to maintain perspective in life. Adversity either shapes you or breaks you.

Sara’s physical disability does not stop her – it only pushes her harder to live life to the fullest, a point that was central to her presentation. Amazing job and well done!"
