Name: Sarah Hansen
Job Title: Field Training Specialist
Where do you hail from?
I was born and raised in North Platte, NE.
Who are your early influences/who inspired you most?
I would have to say that my oldest brother, Eric, and my mom are my biggest inspirations. Eric has taught me to never give up on myself or my goals, while my mom taught me how to truly listen and care for others.
What has been your greatest source of career satisfaction/ proudest achievement?
My greatest source of career satisfaction was watching the parents and families I was given the privilege to work with achieve their goals. I truly loved getting to cheer on the families while they worked so hard to accomplish their goals and of course I loved celebrating those achievements with them.
Family life/hobbies /community involvement:
I have two dogs at home and love to be outside being active with them. In the summer, spring, and fall I love to be outside camping or boating with family and friends. In the colder months I love to be at home with a hot chocolate and a good book. I travel when I can as I love experiencing new people and places.
The quotation I live my life by is:
“There are moments when troubles enter our lives and we can do nothing to avoid them. But they are there for a reason. Only when we have overcome them will we understand why they were there.” –Paulo Coelho
