Nice to meet you.
I'm Sarah Dolan, a communications specialist who thrives on collaboration. I believe quality ideas are born through teamwork—I’d love to connect with you!
My Reach
Over Time
My passion for communications dates back to 2001, when I discovered a local radio station in my hometown of Ocean City, NJ., and volunteered there for four years as a broadcaster. This journey led me to pursue a bachelor’s degree in communications, followed by a master’s degree in journalism. From there, my career in public relations, administration, and digital media stretched to span 10+ years. I have found that my love for the field, and the people I have had the pleasure of working with, only grows over time.
Over Platforms
In 2008, the final research paper for my journalism degree took a deep dive into the changing landscape of citizen journalism. Back then, technology used for the branding and distribution of messaging for companies looked … different. Old technology did not create a strong space for interactive, integrated communications between a company and its audience. As a trained communications specialist, my experience over the years has adapted to new media’s depth and fast-paced change.
