support of working mothers. With a master’s degree in public policy and women’s
studies from the George Washington University, complemented by a bachelor’s degree
in political science and women’s studies from American University, Sarah brings a
wealth of knowledge and advocacy to her work. Her career spans a decade at Women
in Government, a national bipartisan association for state legislators, where she
championed public policy initiatives aimed at empowering and educating women in
elected office. Sarah’s impact extended to her five-year tenure as the executive director
of the National Consumer Voice for Quality Long-Term Care, an organization dedicated

assisted living facilities, and at home. In 2013, Sarah took her entrepreneurial spirit to
new heights by founding Sarah Wells Breast Pump Bags, dedicated to empowering
mothers with products that enhance their sense of dignity and functionality while
transporting breast pumps to their workplace. Sarah’s distinct vantage point, having
occupied various roles as a manager and a working mother, coupled with her passion
for both organizations and mothers, is underpinned by her direct access to valuable
data gleaned from her business customer relationships that culminates in her first book,
Go Ask Your Mothers.
