Sarah is a University of Dayton School of Law Graduate and currently works as the Co-Founder of Foward Slash / Health and as the Head of Legal at Tracy Health. What does it take to rewrite the rules and carve your own path? Meet Sarah—a relentless innovator, multitasker extraordinaire, and a true trailblazer in law.
In this episode, we dive into Sarah’s extraordinary, non-linear journey. It began almost two decades before law school, at Harding University, where she earned her MBA in Health and Healthcare. For the next decade, Sarah climbed the ranks of healthcare leadership, serving as VP of Revenue Cycle at AIE Medical Management—all while teaching as an adjunct professor at American University. However, as legal bills mounted, Sarah knew she needed a new solution, which led her to join one of the first ABA-approved hybrid JD programs at the University of Dayton.
Her first year of law school was anything but smooth. With limited resources available for online students, Sarah turned adversity into innovation. She co-authored Digitally Remastered: Modern Law School, a game-changing textbook to support hybrid law students like herself—all while juggling motherhood and three jobs.
Sarah’s story doesn’t stop there. She took on multiple internships, from serving as a judicial intern to contributing at Clearbrief. She eventually landed a role at Gordon Rees as an associate attorney. However, her passion for healthcare led her back to the industry she began in. Today, Sarah leads as the Head of Legal at Tracy Health and co-founded Forward Slash / Health within the same organization, driving innovative solutions at the intersection of health and law.
This episode is packed with insights about resilience, intuition, and the power of reinvention. Whether you're in law, healthcare, or any other field, Sarah's story is sure to inspire.
Tune in for a masterclass in grit, industriousness, and relentless ambition.
