As an EdTech executive and visionary strategist with 15 years of behind-the-scenes content development experience atop a decade-plus of higher-ed teaching, Sadie is dedicated to creating the most effective and engaging materials imaginable for learners. As the Strategic Learning Director, Sadie leads the strategy, development, and operationalization of Impact Health’s internal and external learning ecosystem. Her role is poised at the intersection of business development, instructional design, program implementation, and operational strategy, and serves as a core leader in Impact Health’s long-term sustainability strategy. 

Before joining Impact Health, Sadie was the Vice President of Strategy and Content at LingroLearning, an EdTech startup. Prior to that, she spent 13 years in content development at McGraw Hill Higher Education, most recently as Executive Portfolio Manager, leading their World Languages team. 

Sadie is well-versed in pedagogy and instructional design and revels in using emerging technologies thoughtfully to create innovative, truly needed educational solutions. She believes educational materials should be considerate of and welcoming to all learners and has led content overhauls and established systems and best practices for developing content and interfaces that are representative, inclusive, and accessible. 

Sadie holds a Bachelor of Arts from La Salle University in Philadelphia, a Master’s in Spanish from the University of California, Los Angeles, and a Doctorate in Spanish and Spanish American Literature from The University of Texas at Austin. 

She lives in North Asheville with her husband, two boys, and a large dog, who all excel at providing the perpetual chaos that keeps Sadie on her toes. She is a slow but superbly dedicated runner, loves traveling, volunteering, and gardening, and is always working on learning something new.
