COMMUNICATIONS COORDINATOR — Sarah Perry

Where were you born and raised? Southern Louisiana. I was born in Baton Rouge but spent much of my childhood in Houma, Louisiana.

Family information: My husband, Rick, and I have been married for eight years. We live in Saline County with our two children: Eli, who is 6, and Olivia, who is 2. We recently bought a labradoodle puppy named Coco.

My favorite meal: Spaghetti

When I’m not working: I’m spending time with my family, watching Disney movies or running.

The accomplishments of which I am most proud: My children. Being a mom is not an easy job, but it is the most rewarding.

The hardest thing I have ever done is: Starting a family with my husband in central Arkansas. With both of our families hours away, we moved to Saline County to follow a job opportunity. We had to learn to depend on each other and figure out day-to-day things together.

At the top of my bucket list is to: Visit Europe, especially the Vatican.

You might be surpised to learn that: Growing up, I moved 11 times because my dad worked as a manager in retail.

My pet peeve is: People who are unkind.

Motto or favorite quote: “All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.” — Walt Disney

When did you start at the AAC and what projects have you been working on? I began on Nov. 14. I have been covering stories for this magazine and attending association conferences.
