Meet the Team
Sarah is a graduate of the Institute of Art, Design & Technology (IADT) with a degree in Marketing. She joined GIY as a novice grower, bringing curiosity, energy, and a strong interest in sustainability, storytelling, and community-led food systems.
With a background in marketing and a love of staying active through running, Sarah enjoys fast-paced, people-focused environments where no two days are the same. She thrives on variety, meeting new people, learning new skills, and loves a challenge.
At GIY, she is developing her growing knowledge while supporting a mission she feels strongly connected to - making food growing accessible, enjoyable, and part of everyday life.
“I love being part of GIY because every day is different - you’re meeting new people, learning constantly, and it’s a role that really lets you take on new challenges.”
Our food system is broken and at GIY we believe that nurturing a real connection to where our food comes from is the key to fixing it.
We're on a mission to inspire a global movement of food growers, one GIYer at a time.
