Sarah is studying Agricultural Economics and Policy and her dream job would be U.S. Secretary of Agriculture. She is currently Vice President-Internal for the Illinois Student Senate.
Here are her answers to MSNBC's questions:
What is your biggest challenge as a leader on campus?
Championing the female voice without alienating the men on campus.
Which female leaders do you draw inspiration from?
I draw inspiration from many female leaders, but my mother has inspired me since day one. She has worked tirelessly to build a successful career, but she has always remained involved in my life as well. She was my Girl Scout troupe leader for seven years, the elementary headroom mom for 10 years, listened to every band concert I played in, volunteered with our marching band, and supported us through it all. Even when she became a single mother, she ensured everything was the same for my brother and me. She is the woman who inspires me every day to be the best person I can be.
