Experience

Sarah joined Business Insider as an editor in 2019, and had built multiple Personal Finance Insider verticals from the ground up. 

Prior to joining Business Insider, Sarah was a senior editor at The Points Guy for more than four years, covering credit cards and award travel. Alongside her team at TPG, Sarah helped Chase launch coverage for the popular Chase Sapphire Reserve travel rewards credit card in 2016.

Sarah began her journalism career writing about technology for Engadget and Laptop Magazine, jobs which led to international travel for trade shows and conferences and sparked her interest in credit card benefits.

Sarah started educating herself on personal finance best practices during her early years struggling to find balance amid New York City’s high cost of living. The money management skills Sarah learned during her years as a self-employed freelance editor also honed her financial acumen, giving her a passion for helping others navigate the financial challenges of small business ownership, taxes, and budgeting.
