Sarah Shadid

Senior Associate

Sarah specializes in designing and implementing collaborative processes to create a more sustainable future in the United States and globally. Sarah’s content expertise includes water resources, climate, environment, and public health. She thrives at the intersection of science, policy, and practical on-the-ground implementation. While Sarah works across diverse content areas, at heart her work increases understanding, reveals shared interests, and creates a sense of collective responsibility for achieving durable outcomes. Sarah comes to this work with a deep commitment to improving planetary health by helping repair unsustainable and inequitable systems.

Sarah holds a Master of Public Administration, from the Evans School of Public Policy and Governance at the University of Washington and a Bachelor of Arts degree in history from the University of New Mexico.

Outside of work, Sarah enjoys taking walks around Seattle to make sure that all the historic landmarks are where she last left them. When not acting as an amateur architectural historian, Sarah dedicates her free time to reading, eating pretzels, and hanging out with her husband and extremely cute baby.
