Sarah's No Dabbler Details

Hometown: Roanoke, Va.

What’s your sweet spot as it relates to this industry?
Helping clients grow and exit their businesses through transformational events like capital raises and mergers and acquisitions.

What was your favorite food as a kid?
Not counting dessert, homegrown tomato sandwiches with salt, pepper and a little mayo.

If you couldn’t be a lawyer, what would you be?
A travel planner.

Why is food/bev/ag your chosen industry?
It’s tangible, relatable and matters to almost everyone.

What is your favorite quote? And why does it speak to you?
"Parva sed potens" (Latin for small but mighty). It is something my mom used to tell me to encourage me, and it is the way she lived her life proving that small gestures and acts can make a difference in people’s lives.

What is your favorite food travel destination, and why?
Coastal towns in tropical countries where fresh fish, fruit and veggies abound – and normally pretty good cocktails too.

If you could travel anywhere in the world, where would you go and why?
India is No. 1 on my bucket list for the culture, the food, history and the chance to see a tiger in the wild.
