Sarah is a Senior Instructional Designer whose work spans the ASU Health ecosystem - supporting academic programs across the College of Health Solutions (CHS), the School of Technology for Public Health (STPH), and the John Shufeldt School of Medicine and Medical Engineering (JSOMME). Her efforts advance ASU’s mission to transform health education and improve health outcomes for Arizona through scalable, technology-enhanced, and learner-centered curriculum design.
In her role, Sarah leads the development of courses and learning experiences across multiple health degree programs. Her curricular portfolio includes supporting the development of courses such as Foundations of Public Health, Principles of Medicine, Health Systems Science, Pathophysiology, and AI and Machine Learning in Public Health.
In addition to curricular development support, Sarah specializes in competency mapping, accreditation alignment (CEPH and LCME), and authentic assessment design by creating learning environments that prepare future health leaders to work across disciplines, leverage emerging technologies, and address health inequities with systems-level thinking. Her work plays a key role in shaping ASU Health’s next-generation approach to medical, public health, and health technology education.
Beyond curriculum development, Sarah advances professional development through staff mentorship, digital leadership, and accessibility work, and contributes to global workforce initiatives such as semiconductor supply chain education.
