Who I am and Where I've Been

sarahkarimeditorial_edited.jpg

I believe that we are an amalgamation

of the people and the organizations we have

interacted with, grown with and learned from.

In the past 20 years, I have professionally grown by serving

as an in-house consultant or independent contractor

at varying social enterprises, non-profits and venture philanthropy organizations.

I also co-founded and ran my own non-profit for 3 years.

I have been academically shaped by coursework taken as part of my

BA in International Relations from Wellesley College and my

MBA from George Washington University.

Workshops and immersion experiences in

Liberating Structures and Design Thinking

have further informed my work.

My life experiences have been shaped by the time I have spent in multiple cities and countries:

I was born in Honolulu, Hawaii; 

I have spent my childhood in Karachi, Pakistan,

my youth in Montgomery County, Maryland,

my college years in the suburbs of Boston,

my early career between Karachi, Pakistan and the suburbs of Washington, D.C.

and my mid-career in Frankfurt, Germany. 

I currently reside in Seattle, WA with my husband and two young sons.
