Sarah Adams is an activist, educator, and leader whose lifelong love for the planet taught her that humans need harmony for themselves, their communities, and the world, before we can truly steward and protect it. Honored with Arizona State University’s Excellence in Service and Advocacy Award, she is committed to advancing peacebuilding as a daily practice that strengthens families, communities, and institutions alike. Her background spans nonprofit and community-based work at home and abroad, from Standing Rock and sustainable development in Nicaragua to domestic violence advocacy in Phoenix and creating empowerment programs for refugee women in Arizona. With an MA in Social Justice and Human Rights, Sarah brings experience in women’s empowerment, migration rights, sustainability, and transformative justice. Now at the Thunderbird School of Global Management, she builds connections across cultures and helps companies adapt, advancing workplaces where people and communities can thrive.
