Sara deeply believes that a modern workplace should address the needs of today's workforce, and that utilizing workplace technology to support telecommuting, freelance, part-time, and flexible work will achieve societal, environmental, and economic benefits for both employees and employers.

In addition to FlexJobs, Sara has launched an advocacy initiative, 1 Million for Work Flexibility in 2013; a resource for integrating remote work into business models, Remote.co in 2015; and most recently in 2016 The TRaD* Works Forum (*Telecommuting, Remote, & Distributed), a conference that brings together organizations looking to further leverage the benefits of telecommuting, remote and distributed teams.

She also is an active angel investor with a focus on companies using technology for societal good in an impactful way.
