Sarah Viscardi

Sarah Viscardi is driven to work in this industry because she has witnessed the tremendous impact nonprofits have made, and continue to make, in their communities. She has built her impressive professional skillset through her experiences working with global nonprofits and those in the higher education and healthcare sectors.
