Background

About Sara C.

With over a decade of experience in higher education, I specialize in academic operations, graduate student success, and inclusive program development. Currently serving as an Administrative Analyst and Project Coordinator at California State University San Marcos, my work bridges research, operations, and advocacy—always with a focus on cultivating inclusive, data-informed environments where students and faculty thrive. My background spans student affairs, graduate education, and research administration, with a strong track record in strategic planning, budget oversight, and cross-sector collaboration. I hold an Ed.D. in Educational Leadership, with research focused on institutional accountability for minoritized graduate students and collaborative autoethnographic educational leadership experiences. Let’s connect if you’re passionate about graduate education, equity in academia, or collaborative leadership in higher ed.
