Fun Facts about Sarah Grinnell:

1. I started my career in Arizona, but I am an Idaho native and came back to Idaho about 10 years ago.
2. I am a firm believer that "weird" is a side effect of awesome. I don’t try to hide my quirkiness and embrace my limited-edition status. I want to teach my two daughters to embrace their uniqueness, so I hold my weird flag high!
3. I love yarn!
4. My favorite time of day is in the early morning with the quiet before the world wakes up.
5. I love statistics and data. Nothing makes me quite as happy as a good graph.
6. I love a good cup of coffee (cream, but no sugar please) or a cute pair of shoes (heels preferred).
7. I was a professional baker for years before becoming a school psychologist/counselor.

Our Boss Up Empowerment Conference is for high school girls in the 9th-12th grade. During this interactive, 3-hour virtual conference, we will teach girls the importance of using their voice and platforms to effect positive change for themselves and their communities. We will cover topics like leadership, college readiness, entrepreneurship, and advocacy. From this conference, we want girls to take away the knowledge of how to propel their communities forward and develop lasting success for themselves. Over the summer, we hosted two Boss Up Empowerment Conferences and served over 500 girls from 35+ states.

This event will take place on Saturday, December 12th from 9 AM- 12PM MST. Since the program is virtual, there is no limit to the number of girls you can invite. If you have any questions, please let me know. I can be reached through email or at 757-477-0184.
