Sarah grew up in “The Hit Recording Capital of the World,” Muscle Shoals, Alabama, where at an early age her grandmother began teaching her to sew on a singer treadle machine. She has continued to develop her love for sewing constantly trying new patterns and ideas (though now usually on more modern machines). Her passion for sewing is what originally brought her into ACR, where she soon began volunteering.Sarah moved to Austin over 15 years ago. She is currently the Chief Operating Officer at MedToMarket and has a degree in Education from the University of North Alabama and an MBA from Texas A&M-Commerce. This combination has given her a passion for using her educational, operations, and financial knowledge to help nonprofits accomplish their mission effectively and efficiently. For the past 20 years, Sarah has been actively involved in the life and operation of nonprofits both as a volunteer and employee including CSHI, Micah 6 Food Pantry, Together4Children, and of course ACR.Sarah is excited to serve as treasurer for ACR. You can reach her by email at sarah.humphries@austincreativereuse.org.
