Sarah Wesolek-Greenson
Sarah is a public health professional who joined our team in March of 2023. As a Grant Writer, Sarah researches new funding opportunities and translates the life-changing work of our programs into compelling narratives. She then ensures that we can track and evaluate student outcomes effectively to show just how successful our programs are.
Sarah started her career at the National Kidney Foundation of Michigan, where she delivered health promotion programs in elementary schools and early childhood settings throughout Metro Detroit. She then moved on to coordinate the evaluation of these programs. Finally, she settled into grant management and writing, overseeing applications, reports, and deliverables. Sarah utilizes all these experiences when it comes to grant writing – strong knowledge of the evidence base and literature, programs and their design, and how they all come together to play important roles in crafting captivating grant applications.
“I reflect fondly on all the mentors in my life and the pivotal roles they have played,” said Sarah. “As a volunteer mentor in the program, I know we play a crucial role in student’s lives. These relationships make all the difference when it comes to success in post-secondary education.”
Sarah grew up in Ann Arbor and graduated from the University of Colorado where she studied English literature and geological sciences. She earned her Master of Public Health degree in Health Behavior and Health Education from the University of Michigan. Sarah loves to spend time with her husband, son, and daughter, bike to local breweries, play volleyball, and attend live sporting events and concerts.
